University Seal & Alma Mater

Alma Mater Sing the praise of Alma Mater Let us rally to her call Lift our voices, send them ringing, Thru the groves and classic halls. Hail! Hail! Dear Alma Mater Hail! Hail! Dear S.C. C. We’ll defend and honor, Love and cherish thee. We are loyal sons and daughters Proud to own the name we bear For the truth that thou has taught us Ready all to do and dare. Hail! Hail! Dear Alma Mater Hail! Hail! Dear S.C.C. We’ll defend and honor, Love and cherish thee. Alma Mater of South Carolina State University by Robert S. Wilkinson and T. D. Phillips. Written in 1927.

The University Seal is used in connection with the transaction of business of the Board of Trustees of South Carolina State University. In 1968, Leo F. Twiggs, Ed.D., former Professor of Art at the University, designed the Seal for the Inauguration of M. Maceo Nance Jr., fifth president, later named President Emeritus. The palmetto tree stands in the center of the Seal and represents the official tree of South Carolina. At the base of the tree, on the left, is a miniature Morrill Hall, symbolizing education and history. Morrill Hall, one of the first buildings constructed on the campus, was named in recognition of the Morrill Act, which established land-grant colleges in the United States. South Carolina State University is a member of the land-grant system. On the right hand side of the tree is a torch, which connotes a deep devotion to truth. "Scientia, Officium, Honos" means Knowledge, Duty, Honor. The Seal is used on all official documents of the University.
