Sergio Arboleda, Universidad

The flag of the Universidad Sergio Arboleda. You can find the explanation of the Coat of Arms at <www.usergioarboleda.edu.co>. The University is located in Bogota..
Source: Official website.
E.R., 14 October 2007

The arms are canting; "arboleda' means "grove" (of trees). The website calls it the "tree of wisdom of Aristotle," so apparently a diagrammatic representation of the hierarchy of the sciences rather than an actual tree.
Eugene Ipavec, 14 and 21 October 2007

I have not found yet a reference to Aristotle, but René Descartes (Les principes de la philosophie, 1644; originally written in Latin as "Principia philosophiae") defined a "tree of knowledge". My own translation from the French text:
"Therefore philosophy is like a tree, whose roots are metaphysics, trunk is physics and branches emerging from the trunk are all the other sciences, which can be reduced to three main ones, medicine, mechanics and ethics, I mean here the highest and most perfect ethics, which, assuming a perfect knowledge of the other sciences, is the highest degree of wisdom. Since fruits are cropped neither from the root or the trunk of the tree built but only from the end of the branches, the main usefulness of philosophy depends on its parts which cannot be learned only as the last one."
The Catalan philosopher and mystic Ramon Llull (XIIIth century) also uses the metaphor of the "tree of sciences", which has 18 roots, made of the nine divine (absolute) principles, including wisdom, and of the nine logical (relative) principles.
Ivan Sache, 21 October 2007

"Universidad Sergio Arboleda", located in Bogotá, is named after Sergio Arboleda (1822-1888). Born in Popayán, Arboleda studied Law at "Universidad del Cauca", where he was subsequently appointed Rector. Arboleda dedicated most of his life to the education of the youth but also contributed to the political life of Colombia, as a member of the National Congress, of the Assembly of Cundinamarca and of the Provincial Chamber; he submitted in 1885 a draft of Constitution to the National Assembly.
The shield of the university was designed by Dr. Alvaro Gómez Hurtado, in collaboration with Dr. Ramón Bulla Qunitina, Dean of the School of Philosophy, Humanities and Education.
The trunk of the tree represents Philosophy. The branches on the right side of the trunk are Humanities, such as Literature, Philosophy, Astronomy, Law, Communication...
The branches on the left side of the trunk are Exact Sciences, such as Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, Economy... The border of the shield encompasses all knowledge, with the following caveat emptor: "If first we don't understand God's love, all knowledge will be difficult, obscure and unuseful".
