A formal Coat of Arms was designed and adopted for the Centennial celebration. Father Vrana undertook the work with the advice and help of Doctor Boniface Stratemaier, O.P., of the Catholic University, an expert in heraldry. It is an adaptation of the official seal of the Order of Saint Augustine, including in its symbolization the fact that Villanova is a Catholic College dedicated to Saint Thomas under the Patronage of Our Lady, and directed by the Augustinian Fathers. The entire Coat of Arms consists of two elements: (a) the basic shield, (b) the embellishments. The embellishments consist of four elements: the Motto, “Unitas, Veritas, Caritas”: the Laurels, adopted from the Seal of the Order, as supports; the Crest, which is the Cross; the enclosure, identifying the whole. The shield itself is an heraldic field, described tech' nically as follows: the field Argent (white), a cross Azure (blue), with four bezants thereon, and between these an open Book, its edges Or (gold), it pages inscribed “Tolle Lege, Tolle Lege.” The Blue and White are the College colors and the colors of our Mother of Good Counsel. The form of the cross is a sign of the Catholic Faith. The Bezants in gold stand for the Charity of Thomas of Villanova. The Book is a symbol of Learning. The phrase “Tolle Lege” (Take up and Read) indicates Saint Augustine, and his spiritual sons. Hence the final reading: A Catholic institution of learning directed by the Augustinians and dedicated to Thomas of Villanova under the patronage of our Mother of G(X)d Counsel. OUR COAT OF ARMS
