Tree of Knowledge The symbol is the sum total of the combined lower case letter forms at, p, and u, and the embodyment of the guiding principles comprising the esSence of the university. Viewing the symboi as a u'nit,one sees a tree form resting firmiy on the ground with its square base and raised limbs in symmetricai form. Our ittreei of knowiedgeithas age and fullness in its trunk and limbs, suggesting tradition; and youth and simplicity in its internal negative Spaces holding the symmetricai leaf forms suggestive of sapling growth. Central to the symbol, as in the university, is the human form, with arms uplifted and outstretched to meet'and receive the environment. The figure is standing erect and balanced suggesting a strength in knowledge and values. The figure is also a modified cruciform e an intentionai link to the Catholic roots of the university. The uii form extending upward from the trunk is a true arc, a section of a perfect circle. its position related to the figure represents supportrather than containment of human form. This position of support is the image of the university in support of the enrichment of the community and the pursuit of knowledge with a concern for values and human spirit. Accompanying this symbol is a specially designed logotype for DePaul University. This modified and simplified typography serves as an identifying companion to the symbol. While complementing the symbols expressiveness the logotype reinforces that which is the essence of DePaul University.
