Theme A coat of arms was originalty a cover for armor, into which an identifying design had been sewn. The design now supersedes the armor itself. Hence only the nobility are entitled to coats of arms In the Church a similar principle of limitatioh restricts them to pretates, though dioceses, orders and institutions also participate in the privilege. Elder's coat of arms has, in the regular style of such insignia, four com- partments. In theory the title should be repeated twice, and this is done by putting the late Archbishop Elder's coat of arms in two opposite quarters; in the remaining two occur the insignia of the dedication tthe Sacred Hearti and the founder, the late Archbishop Moeiier. But he was not actually the founder but only gave his consent to the joint effort of the eleven parishes of the Western Hills to found the school. So they tin the form of the eleven crosses with the setting suni must, by the rules of heraldry! take the place of honor across the top of the shield, and with these crosses occurs the label that shows Eider to be the oldest of the district or inter-parochiai high schools. The dedication and founder are not repeated in the fourth quarter, because another event in the history of the school is shown instead, namely, the transfer of the girls department ta diamond shaped shield is regularly used for womeni to Seton and the addition of twelve more parishes to the district. The covering over of the diamond shield by the crosses portrays this. The motto of the school is HAitioraj' and the crest tor top of the shiech is a conventional representation of Education with the cross of Christianity as its most prominent feature; over all are Elder's towers. The coat of arms is technically described as follows: Quartered, purpure and argent, under Chief bar azure with eleven Latin crosses or moline, one over four chevrony over six, in sinister Chief point a soieil rayone argent. First and fourth, a plate ermine displaying arms arqent, Chief plow'trame with shear or and sword or, fess bendy-barry gules and vert, in nombrill two mullets or, middle base crescent or; crest, centre patriarchal cross bottone or, flanked by rnitre and cross of the same; supporters, ten tassels vert displayed, one over two over three over four joined and pendent from clerical hat of same above cross; motto, iiVincit mundum tides.
