What is the real motto of Harvard University?
"Truth" (Veritas).

The earliest school motto is "Veritas Christoet Ecclesiae", which means "for the truth of Christ and the church" in English, meaning "to pursue the truth in the sense of Christianity and the church". ?

Later, with the secularization of Harvard and its separation from religion, this sentence was naturally simplified to one word-truth. This word is often translated into "truth", which means not only "truth" but also "truth" and "truth". At Harvard, the pursuit of "truth", "truth" and "truth" in the fields of knowledge, world, society and mankind is an eternal goal.
