Lawrence University, with the permission of the family of its founder, Amos Lawrence, uses as its graphic symbol an adaptation of the arms "granted and confirmed by Patent dated 30 October 1562, to William Lawrence of St. Ives, county Huntington":
"A shield of silver bearing a cross of red with embattlements in which the angles are to right angles. In the upper third of the shield against a red background is a double-tailed lion in gold, walking with the dexter paw raised and the head full-faced. Above the shield is the crest, the head of an antelope in black with five silver roundles on the head and neck. The antlers are in gold, the crest supported by a red and silver roll."
The Lawrence coat of arms, in the colors described above, is pictured to the left. The Lawrence University logo, portrayed on the home page of the website, depicts the shield in the university colors of blue and white and the crest in black.
