    FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY SEAL Fairfield’s seal combines elements of its several traditions. The gold pine cones come from the coat of arms of the family of St. Robert Bellarmine, S.J. Superimposed on the cones is the badge of the Society of Jesus – the letters IHS surmounted by the cross and surrounded by the instruments of Christ’s passion – to indicate that the University is in the care of members of the same religious family. There are three compartments in the upper portion of the shield, because “the school is dedicated and exists in the Name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” The central compartment portrays a hart crossing a ford, a part of the coat of arms of the Diocese of Hartford, whose boundaries encompassed the Town of Fairfield when the University was founded. Finally, the two outer compartments show clusters of grapes, charges taken from the town seal and symbolic of the fertility of the verdant fields of the Town and County of Fairfield. When the University was founded in 1942, the official name of the University was Fairfield University of St. Robert Bellarmine." Three of the original seals with this name still exist on campus - in the main lobby of Alumni Hall, on the exterior of the original Barone Campus Center, and on the glass front of Regis Hall facing the Quad. The University seal will continue in use for official documents such as diplomas, commencement programs and transcripts. Fairfield University’s Motto “Per Fidem Ad Plenam Veritatem” translates to “Through faith to full Truth.” 5 FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY LOGO The logo, unveiled in April, 1997, provides a visual identity to unify the University.
