http://www.gs.columbia.edu/history.htm

The shield was created in 1950: “Borrowing from the family crest of Samuel Johnson, the first instructor and President of King’s College, GS students create the first GS shield.” “Notable features of the GS shield include an owl and the school motto, "Lux in Tenebris Lucet," or "The light that shines in the darkness," both signifying that GS students attend classes at night.”
