Summary[edit]

Summary
Description	The Seal of American College of Surgeons. Omnibus per artem. In establishing the organization, the founders of the ACS sought to develop a logo for the College that would also contain a short sentence or phrase that would express a rule guiding the behavior of the Fellows. In 1915, the first Director of the ACS, John G. Bowman, MD, FACS, urged the Regents and the ACS Secretary, Franklin H. Martin, MD, FACS, to authorize a competition among Chicago artists to develop the seal for the College, to replace a simple rod and serpent used in the first yearbooks. Paul Frederick Volland, who ran a publishing company in Chicago, IL, entered the contest, and his seal containing the Latin phrase, Omnibus per artem fidemque prodesse, was selected. The prized result has been in use ever since, without change.
