God and the Ivy League
There are eight Ivy leagues schools. Six of them were founded on God and His Word.
| University | Motto | Bible verse |
| Brown | "In God we hope" | "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2 |
| Columbia | "In Thy light shall we see the light" | "For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light." Psalm 36:9 |
| Dartmouth | "A voice crying in the wilderness" | "He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias." John 1:23 |
| Harvard | "Truth"† | "...To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." Jesus in John 18:37 |
| Princeton | "Under God she flourishes" | "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God." Psalm 92:13 |
| Yale University | "Light and truth" | "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles." Psalm 43:3 |
† Note: "Harvard's early motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae 'Truth for Christ and the Church.' In a directive to its students, it laid out the purpose of all education: 'Let every student be plainly instructed and consider well that the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus, which is eternal life. And therefore to lay Christ at the bottom as the only foundation of all sound learning and knowledge.' Wikipedia, accessed 4/10/09
