The Seal of St. Paul’s College, c. 1853

The seal is a remnant of the first venture in racially integrated schooling in Bermuda. St. Paul’s was established in 1853 through the efforts of Reverend William C. Dowding, and was an inspiration to the founders of The Berkeley Educational Society some 25 years later. It offered a curriculum of Latin, Greek, Euclid, French, Spanish, Geography, History, Drawing and Vocal Music, but closed three years later in 1856.
