Additional Description

Historical Note

As a symbol of the Office of President, a silver medallion with a silver chain was created and used for the first time at the inauguration of Martin M. Meyerson on May 29, 1967. The medallion bears the new seal for the State University of New York at Buffalo designed in 1967 by Ivan Chermayeff of New York City firm of Chermayeff and Geismar Associates. The seal represents a radial cluster of books which symbolizes the integration of knowledge achieved through the diverse faculties of the university. The medallion was replaced circa 1982 with a medallion reflecting a new university seal.
