The University Seal Adopted in 1894, the seal reflects the commitment of the first Board of Trustees to the cause of Christ. Prominently displayed on the seal are the words “PRO CORONA ET FOEDERE CHRISTI,” translated “For the Crown and the Covenant of Christ,” aswell as a crown to signifyHis preeminence. The trustees desired to emphasize that Christ was the One for whom Cedarville College existed. The board of the Baptist Bible Institute, after taking over the operation of Cedarville in 1953, retained the original seal of the college, acknowledging that the desire of Cedarville’s founders was theirs as well. They then surrounded the seal with the motto of the Baptist Bible Institute, “For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ,” to visually remind those who observed the seal of the common commitment by both institutions to Jesus Christ. The seal was updated in 2000 when Cedarville College became Cedarville University.
