Excerpt from Yamacraw, 1921
In choosing the armorial hearings for Oglethorpe University, none other than the famous coal of arms of the illustrious General Oglethorpe was adopted. The above illustration of the coat of arms of General Oglethorpe was taken from an old hook in the Carnegie Library of Atlanta. The shield consists of a field argent, with a black chevron and three boars' heads, two heads above the chevron and one below. It is surmounted by a largei boar's head, with a green twig and tusk showing. The motto on the scroll beneath reads, "Nescit Cederr."
The original coat of arms has remained unchanged, except the motto, "Nescil Cedere," which has been changed to, "Manu Dei Resurrexit."
There is a great deal of Indian story and history connected with the name "Yamacraw." It was at Yamacraw Bluff, near Savannah, that General James Oglethorpe landed.
Yamacraw Bluff got its name from a tribe of Indians who lived in that vicinity. The Indians later moved westward, and settled along the banks of the Chattahoochee, near the present site of Oglethorpe University.
