Vision, Philosophy
The
College of the Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic
college in New England. It owes its existence
to the second bishop of Boston, Benedict Joseph
Fenwick, S.J., who founded the College in 1843
and gave it the name of his cathedral, the Cathedral
of the Holy Cross, along with the seal and motto
of the Diocese of Boston.
Today,
Holy Cross is recognized as one of the best
liberal arts colleges in the United States.
Holy Cross is highly respected for its superior
undergraduate academic programs, excellent faculty,
and the intelligence, imagination and achievements
of its students. It is also well-known for its
strong, well-supported and enthusiastic commitment
to the principle of educating men and women
for others, in a community that generates a
strong feeling of belonging and a vital sense
of loyalty.
Introduction
The
College of the Holy Cross has developed a licensing
program for the use of its trademarks and other
symbols ("marks") which have become associated
with the College. The College name, logos, and
seal are registered trademarks. The College of the Holy Cross has contracted with the Licensing Resource Group (LRG) to help manage the licensing program.
Purpose
A
licensing program protects the name and logos
of Holy Cross from undesirable commercialism
and protects the College's integrity and legal
liability through our quality assurance
and product approval processes. The licensing
program will make every effort to protect retailers
carrying licensed merchandise by keeping unlicensed
merchandise off the shelves of competing retailers.
Process
Any
person or organization wishing to use any of
the College's marks for commercial purposes
must obtain a license from LRG. Non exclusive licenses will be granted
to those persons or organizations who meet all
requirements and whose products or services
are deemed appropriate.To apply for a license, visit http://www.lrgusa.com, click “Licensing”, and then click “Apply”.
Revenues
The
intent of this program is to ensure the integrity
of the Holy Cross name, its seal and its logos.
All licensees will be required to pay a royalty on all products sold. The revenue
generated from royalties is to be used to offset
administrative expenses of the program and to
provide scholarship funds for students.
