Designed in 1924 by the campus' master planner, William Ward Watkin, the seal first appeared on Tech diplomas in 1948, but it wasn't officially approved as "The" Seal of Texas Tech University until 1953. A replica of the seal made of red granite was placed at the Broadway and University entrance to the campus in 1972; it stands 12 feet high and weighs 37,500 pounds. Photos and artifacts featuring the seal such as official china, a TTU stole and a charm bracelet are also included in the exhibit.
The exhibit will be on display from September through December, 2018 at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library.
