College emblems are almost as focused on when choosing a college as the actual academic ranking of the college is. When deciding on the college sweatshirts and outfits of school pride, the college emblem, custom labels, or clothing labels are important to the student body. Wearing a lion versus an eagle, a bear versus mouse, all of these factors can cause a bit of stress in the life of a new student just trying to fit in and appear to be cool to their former high school classmates going off on their own college adventure.

Harvard University is known for their emblem or crest, which states Veritas which stands for truth in Latin. Harvards colors are crimson, decided on in order to separate themselves from the rival colleges. Harvard has accomplished that goal as their college emblem is recognized throughout the world.

Yale University, Harvard Universitys rival, has a college emblem of a book with Lux et Veritas which means Light and Truth in Latin, written on the sides of the book. The Yale color is blue as of 1894, and their prior color was green. This well-known emblem is also known for its Yale University alumni. Yale was very good at ensuring their college emblem would not be forgotten or taken lightly.
