| | Oglethorpe Day 1997 |
 | | While president, Jacobs had a magnificent hand-carved historic coat of arms created to hang in office.The crest, carved of wood in Switzerland, was based on the coat of arms of the Oglethorpe family. |
 | | Jacobs replaced the Latin family motto from Nescit Cedere, "He who does not know how to give up," to Manu Dei Resurrexit, "By God's hand it is resurrected," which became an early motto of the University. |
 | | For over five decades, the wooden coat of arms has hung in the home of Jacobs' son, which Carrie Jacobs Henderson inherited. |
