The seal for Texas Tech was first developed in 1924 by the campus' mastermind William Ward Watkin. Included in the seal are the symbols of a lamp, representing "school", a key meaning "home", a book symbolizing "church", and a star representing "state". The beloved symbol of Tech has often been refered to as "the Oreo" throughout the years by students and staff. The 12 foot red granite seal stands proudly at the entrance of Texas Tech University.
