Allen County Publis Library 900 Webster Street PO Box 2270 Fort l.'.'ayic, lil 46801-2270 Per saltire Purpure and Argent. In chief an Open Book proper edged and clasped Or. ln fesse two Hurts each charged with a demi-lion rampant double queued issuant Ermine Ducally crowned Gold And in base within an Annulet a Stag trippant of the second. On a Chief of the third a Sun rising Gules. And for the Crest on a Wreath of the Colours in front of a Branch of Maple Gules an Open Book as in the Arms as the same are in the margin hereof more plainly depicted. In the curious world and language of heraldry, this is the official description of Western's Coat of Arms. The following is its unofficial translation. The main portion of the Coat of Arms is the shield. lt is quartered by a St. Andrew's Cross Isaltirej, two parts coloured purple IPur- purei, and two silver fArgentl. In the upper portion fin chiefl, is an open book, usually denoting the Christian Bible, in its natural fproperj colours, the clasps in gold KOH. lf a line or band Ifessej were in- cluded, its normal position would be across the middle of the shield. In its place Un iessej, however, are two blue circles which represent the hurtle- lor huckle-l berry, and the name is abbreviated to Hurts , ln each is the upper half of a lion fdemi-lionj standing upright fram- pantj, double-tailed fqueuedj, in Ermine, and wearing a Duke's coronet. They are known as the peache lions , since they were taken from the Coat of Arms of Canon Alfred Peache, whose money started the University in 1878. In the lower section of the shield Ibasei, is an Annulet , a ring of the sort which might be borne on a charge of a nobleman. It encircles a stag which is walking or trotting ftrippantj, which is shown by the one lifted hoof. In an official descri- ption of a shield, no colour should be mentioned twice, so the stag is said to be of the second , the second-mentioned colour, or silver. The stag is taken from the Coat of Arms of the City of London to de- note the University's status as a municipal university. Affixed to the top of the shield ron a Chiefl, is a section coloured gold, the third mentioned colour fof the thirdi, containing a rising sun in red IC-iulesj. The crest is the Open Book , as in the official description, using the same colouring, but larger and more plainly depicted . The Wreath was originally the knight's mantle, using the colours of the shield, in this case purple, silver, and gold. Artistic changes through the centuries have modified it into ribbons. Canadian Maple leaves in red fgulesl complete the crest. The Esquire's helmet, not mention- ed in the description, supports the crest, and is a distinction granted to universities. The two supporters on either side of the shield are described by On the dexter side a Moose, and on the sinister side a Lynx both Or. On the dexter side of the shield, that is, the right side of anyone wearing it, and the left side of any- one facing it, is a Moose. On the sinister or left side fthe viewer's rightl, is a Lynx. Both are in gold 1Orj. Commonly known as Fred and Archie , they were granted the University as a compliment by the College of Arms, since they are distinctively Canadian animals. The Truth and Service motto was also granted by virtue of the-fact that it was in the original crest.
