The seal refers to Tusculum University (Tusculum
College before 2018), portraying the Tusculum Arch. Founded in 1794,
Tusculum University is the oldest institution of higher education in Tennessee,
the twenty-eighth oldest in the nation, and the oldest coeducational institution
affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The wooded 140-acre Tusculum
campus has nine buildings and the Tusculum Arch that are listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.

Built in 1917, the Arch has come to
symbolize Tusculum College. The architectural form is present throughout the
campus. Costing $400, the Arch was built by one of Tennessee’s foremost
stonemasons, J. T. Ponder. The construction of the Arch was a project conceived
in the patriotic fervor that swept the Tusculum College campus and the rest of
the country after the United States entered World War I.
