 This is St. Cloud State in a minute. Our institution is known to have had four official seals with the first appearing in early 1930s course catalog. At the time, we were known as the State Teachers College. The seal prominently featured the cupola of the old main building. In 1958, a new seal was created by faculty member James Crane because our name changed to St. Cloud State College in 1957. This second seal incorporated the symbolism of the Mississippi River, the relatively new Stewart Hall and Sun to represent light, learning, and knowledge. In 1975, we officially became St. Cloud State University and needed a new seal. Minimal changes to the previous seal were made. In 2000, a campus-wide online election was held to choose a new university seal, the one we have today with oak leaves and the River View cupola. The words, excellence, and opportunity were originally written in Latin. Our university seal is most often seen on diplomas and other formal documents. That was St. Cloud State in a minute.
