A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE COAT OF ARMS 

In August 1932, in the diarium of the Rector, Fr. Olivier Hudon-Beaulieu, we read: "The Rector was preoccupied with choosing a crest for the College, in which he would unite our colours and a motto. Finally, he decided on a text from the psalms (Cfr psalm 90, verse 5) which he summarized in two words: Scutum Veritas - My shield is truth. 

The elements that make up the coat of arms:

- The Loyola coat of arms, as it can still be seen inscribed in stone above the entrance door of the house where Saint Ignatius was born, is one of the oldest Basque coats of arms (14th century); it is described in heraldic language as follows: "Argent, two wolves Sable facing a cauldron of the same". They are illustrated in the left part of the shield.

- The right-hand section has six yellow (gold) stripes on a red (gules) enamel background. These two elements vary from college to college. Here, the colours have been fixed by the memory of Saint-Charles-Garnier: red to recall his martyrdom, white for the exemplary purity of this hero of the Church, gold (yellow) because he is a saint radiating glory in blessed eternity.

- Above the shield, a knight's helmet, probably recalling the military career and personality of Ignatius of Loyola. In the past, the shield was supported by two kneeling angels with outstretched wings, all resting on a drapery decorated with stars. Below the wolves, two torches in saltire, and below the shield, a scroll in the form of a ribbon, on which are inscribed the two words of the motto.
