Harvard University has used "know God" as its goal of foundation. On the earliest Harvard school badge, there was a Latin word "truth", distributed in three books, surrounded by "the truth for Christ and the church." two books in the school badge were upturned and the other book was buckled down. The two open books symbolize the knowledge that God reveals to mankind, the book that is buckled symbolizes that human beings cannot fully grasp the truth of God. God has his mystery, and man should always be in awe of God.
