Harvard's famous Veritas appears directly on the University's arms; heraldically speaking, however, a 'motto' is a word or phrase displayed on a scroll in conjunction with a shield of arms. Since 1692 University seals have borne Christo et Ecclesiae (for Christ and the Church) in this manner, arguably making that phrase the University's motto in a heraldic sense. This legend is otherwise not in general use today.
