[edit] Summary

[edit] The Coat of Arms

The University of Glasgow's Coat of Arms bears a number of symbols or heraldic devices:

• The Mace represents the University's own mace which dates from 1465. The Open Book represents learning.
• The Bird, the Tree and the Fish with the Ring in its mouth all feature in the legend of the City of Glasgow's patron saint, St Kentigern, also known as St Mungo, who died in 603.
• The Bell is also associated with St Mungo who is said to have been given it by the Pope. Records show that 'St Mungo's Bell' was still in use in the 16th Century but its ultimate fate is unknown.
• The motto "Via, Veritas, Vita" means "the Way, the Truth, the Life" and is a quote from the New Testament.

[edit] Usage

The use of the University's Coat of Arms is governed by regulations laid down by the University Court's policy on Visual Identity. The Coat of Arms should always be used with the words 'University of Glasgow' as shown. It may only be printed in full colour, or in black, or in blue (PMS 534) or gold. The monochrome version may be reversed out of black of blue(PMS 534).^[1]
