Some other universities whose buildings display seals of other universities:

University of Florida: Sledd Hall (1930)–This dorm has some window balconies embellished with the seals of great universities, but I don’t know which ones.

University of Southern California: Doheny Memorial Library features seals of the following American schools:Harvard University, College of William and Mary, Northwestern University, University of California, Stanford University and Princeton University. It also depicts the seals of these foreign universities: University of Paris, Trinity College (Dublin), Oxford University, Heidelberg, the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Lima), and the Universidad Nacional de Mexico (Mexico City).

Johns Hopkins: Memorial Hall stained glass windows depict the seals of Yale and California, institutions with which Daniel Gilman was affiliated during his career.

University of Washington: The facade of Suzzallo Memorial Library displays the coats of arms of various universities around the world, but I do not know which ones.

This wouldn’t count as a university seal, but apparently a sculptor etched a Yale Bulldog on the east wall of a gutter in the Princeton U. Chapel.
