e {$ w(5Vv vtfc)w 3Vv vf5)N(3V «Wc)W(5Vv3 All through Colorado’s history symbols and people have presented their state’s character to the world. Perhaps, the proudest of all these symbols is the state flag. A. C. Carson, president of the Ohio Society of Colorado, designed it. The 18th General Assembly adopted it on May 6. 1911. The flag has three equal stripes — two blue and a white and at the left, a red letter “C” encircles a golden disk. It’s width is two-thirds the size of the length. The blue stands for all-the-year blue sky, one columbine color; white resembles the greatest silver state, external mountain snow, one columbine color; “C” — capital for Colorado. Centennial State, columbine state; red — color “Colorado” in Spanish, state’s soil color; gold — greatest gold state, all-the-year sunshine, one Columbine color, one color more than the U. S. flag. The first Territorial Assembly adopted the great seal of Colorado Nov. 6, 1861. At the top is a crest containing the eye of God, which gold rays radiate from on two sides. Below that are Roman faces, a bundle of elm or birch rods and battle tied together by red thongs, denoting gov-ernment power and authority. “Union and Constitution” is printed upon a red, white and blue band. Next is a heraldic shield with snow-capped peaks and the miner’s devices, a pick and sledge ■ hammer. On the bottom is the state motto, “Nil Sine ; Numine”, which is Latin 1 for “Nothing without ) Providence” (or Diety). It i is a line taken from Virgil’s Aeneid. The figures 1876 indicate the year Colorado became a state. Colorado's seal was adopted even before it became a state. A At the time of Colorado's statehood, America was 100 years old.
