For Villa Maria College, with a new campus and buildings, a new coat of arms was devised to complete and complement our new buildings. The coat of arms, consists of a crest, shield, and a motto. The principal charge in the center of the shield is a golden tower to represent Villa Maria. This symbol identifies the Blessed Virgin as the titular of the college for, in the Litany of Loreto, Mary is called Tower of David, Tower of Ivory, and House of Gold. Above and below the tower is the fleur-de-lis. This French form of the lily, for the sisters, represents Saint Joseph, the Foster Father of Our Lord, their titular and patron and their French origin. At either side are two flaunches, bearing eight silver and blue wavy bars to symbolize the waters of Lake Erie, on whose shores the college stands. The wreath of sixpieces, supporting the crest, is composed of the principal tinctures of the shield, gold and red, the colors liturgically ascribed to the Divinity and Humanity of Christ respectively. The college displays as a crest an open book bearing a Latin cross patonce, derived from the coat of arms of the Diocese of Erie, to honor the location of the college. The motto, Sapientia et Scientia, meaning Wisdom and Knowledge, is expressed in the Old Testament in theprophecy of Isias and in the Book of Daniel. It also appears as part of the twelfth chapter of St. Paul ' s Epistle to the Romans: Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! yw
