-The Trinity seal dates back to the college’s name change from [[washington_college|Washington College]] to Trinity College in 1845. Parts of the seal reflect the college’s [[episcopalian|Episcopal]] roots. The abbreviated Latin inscriptions read “The Seal of the College of the Most Holy Trinity” and “For Church and Country.” The shield is also crowned with a bishop’s ceremonial headdress. The Greek-revival façade represents the original Seabury Hall, and the stars represent the 13 colonies, giving a patriotic nod to George Washington, for whom the old college was named.
