The coat of arms of the University of Calgary is the primary emblem of the University of Calgary.
Dr. H.s. Armstrong first petitioned for the Lord Lyon King of Arms on April 29, 1966 two weeks before the royal assent of the Universities Act, making the local campus an autonomous university with it's own name. They worked on symbols to be put in the coat of arms before the petitioning. [1] It ended up being accepted.
The motto which is : mo shuile togam suas (latin for: "I will lift up mine eyes") is meant to be in Scottish gaelic representing the Scottish heritage of the university founders. But is generally mistaken for Irish because it was written in Irish orthography on the Donor wall.[2]
Blazon
[edit]The blazon goes as follows :
Or a bull’s head caboshed Sable accorné Gules between two flags Gules their staves Sable conjoined in base, on a chief enarched Gules a rose Argent barbed and seeded Vert between two open books Argent bound and edged Or;[3]
Symbolism
[edit]The shield consists of two parts: the upper (chief) and the lower (base) separated by an arched line representing the Chinook winds. The chief is of a scarlet color symbolizing the North West Mounted Police who, under their influence, West Canada was settled. Upon this color two books in gold color. And between said books a white rose which represents Alberta.
The base, however, is of a gold color may evoking the golden sunshine or grain of the same color. Upon this is a bull head of black color with red horns and crossed stave bearing bearing red banners reminiscent of the family crest of James Macleod the North West Mounted Police officer who founded Fort Calgary.[4]
