"Domini, Domino" - Latin for "Of the Lord, for the Lord"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bethany College's Official Seal was decided upon in 1906 due to the far-reaching influence of its founder Dr. Rev. Carl Aaron Swensson. The sacred and powerful symbols of the Seal are "the Lamb" and behind it "the slanted Cross." These identify "the most intimate aspects of Christian faith and life" as written by Dr. Emory Lindquist in his 1953 Smoky Valley People, page 248. Beneath the Lamb and Cross symbols is written "Domini, Domino" - Latin for "Of the Lord, for the Lord." Lindquist continues, "The College Seal furnishes its own eloquent testimony as to the purposes and aims of Bethany College."
