Page "Dartmouth College" Paragraph 64

On October 28, 1926, the trustees affirmed the charter's reservation of the seal for official corporate documents alone.

The College Publications Committee commissioned noted typographer W. A. Dwiggins to create a line drawing version of the seal in 1940 that saw widespread use.

Dwiggins ' design was modified during 1957 to change the date from " 1770 " to " 1769 ," to accord with the date of the College Charter.

The trustees commissioned a new set of dies with a date of " 1769 " to replace the old dies, now badly worn after almost two hundred years of use.

The 1957 design continues to be used under trademark number 2305032.
