St. Joseph's College Melbourne - College Crest

College Crest

At the time of amalgamation in 2000 a new logo was developed to represent the College. This logo, set on a traditional heraldic background in the College colours, features a rampant Gryphon protecting a shining star and includes the words, "Luceat Lux Vestra". The Logo appeared on the newly designed College uniform and various publications including Cynosura, the college Annual.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or crest:

    “The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What shall he have that killed the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home.
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
    It was a crest ere thou wast born;
    Thy father’s father wore it,
    And thy father bore it.
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
