The first seal was designed in 1871 by Smith Trustee Professor William S. Tyler (Amherst) and adopted by the Board of Trustees in September 1871. Since that time, the seal has been revised once: in 1935 the design was simplified by the removal of the rays of light emanating from the figure of the Virgin Mary. Despite calls for further revisions, the seal remains the same to this date.

The figure of the Virgin Mary for the design of the seal is taken from the painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682) of the Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables, c.1678 (alternately called by William S. Tyler the Assumption of the Virgin). In the College Seal the figure represents the Woman of the Apocalypse as seen by Saint John the Evangelist (Revelations 12:1), enclosed by the sun in the moon at her feet. The motto, is the Greek from the Second Epistle of Peter 1:5, and translates as: “in your virtue, knowledge.”
