Two images of ninth Purdue seal design by Al Gowan, then assistant professor of the new School of Creative Arts, 1968

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 11, Item: 9
Identifier: MSF 474, File 11, Item 9
Scope and Contents Gowan remained faithful to the calligraphic style of the Lytle seal of 1895. Rather than defining the curriculum, which is subject to change, Gowan felt the seal should represent the three permanent aims of the University: education, research and service. The images show the griffin with six feathers, but that was later changed to five feathers.
