Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and Columbia University are the top universities in the United States. These seven universities have a long history, rigorous scholarship, high level of professors and good quality of students. They have always stood in the position of first-class universities and have never wavered after many years, becoming the first choice for people to study. However, today many people only know their glory today, but they don't know that there is an important historical origin behind their glory. Let's take a look at the school badges of these seven schools. 1. Harvard university emblem Harvard university was founded by Puritans in 1636. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its position in American history and world academic circles has never wavered. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in America. Business school, law school, medical school and Kennedy School of Management are the most famous. The earliest emblem of Harvard University has the Latin "Ve-ri-tas" (truth), which is distributed in three books and surrounded by "Procchristo et ecclesia", that is, "for Christ and the church". In the school emblem, two books are turned up, symbolizing the knowledge that God has revealed to mankind, and the other book is buckled down, symbolizing that mankind cannot fully grasp the truth of God. God has the mystery of God, so people should fear God. Today's school emblem retains Ve-ri-tas, but all three books have been turned up, and the Latin with religious meaning around them has disappeared, which means some religious changes. 2. University of Pennsylvania Emblem The University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1740, located in Pennsylvania, formerly known as Philadelphia Church Charity College. Franklin was one of the founders.

Dolphins represent the Franklin family, and three disks represent the founders of Philadelphia Christian School. The Latin motto of the ribbon is "Without morality, the law is useless".
