  • FLAG of MONACO - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF MONACO - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia Apart from aspect ratio, the flag of Monaco is identical to the flag of Indonesia. Technical Specification Adopted: 1881 Proportion: 4:5 Design: A bi-colour in red and white, from top to bottom Colours: PMS: Red: 032 C CMYK: Red: 0% Cyan, 90% Magenta, 86% Yellow, 0% Black Brief History Monaco used to be a colony of the Italian city-state Genoa. A small isolated country between the mountains and the sea with one castle on the Rock of Monaco, overlooking the entire country. Francesco Grimaldi disguised himself and his men as Franciscan monks and infiltrated the castle to take control. It was not long before Genoan forces succeeded in ousting him. Later his descendents simply bought the castle and the realm from Genoa and turned it into a principality. At this point the flag of Genoa was the St. George’s flag. They allowed England, for a fee, to fly their flag so they could use their sea and ports to trade. The Monaco Coat of Arms has represented the country for as long as the Grimaldi dynasty has been in power, since the early 15th Century. Although the design has changed gradually over the years, the key elements have remained the same. The motto, 'Deo Juvante' is Latin for 'With God's Help'. This coat of arms today serves as the state flag. St George’s Flag of Genoa The Coat of Arms of Monaco The colours on the shield, red and white in a pattern known as 'lozengy argent and gules' in heraldic terms, are the national colours.

  • Commencement Program 2021
    Sapientia et Doctrina Wisdom and Learning “Wisdom and learning shall be the stability of thy times.” —Adapted from Isaiah 33:6 The Fordham University Seal The Great Seal of Fordham University proclaims that Fordham has been a Jesuit university since its founder, Archbishop John Hughes, entrusted it to the care of the Society of Jesus five years after its founding in 1841. Hence, the coat of arms of the Society of Jesus stands at the center of the Great Seal of the University. The coat of arms bears the Greek letters for the name Jesus—IHS—with the cross resting in the horizontal line of the letter H, and the three nails beneath in a field framed in maroon, the color of the University, with fleurs-de-lis on the edge of the maroon frame. Around the Society’s coat of arms is a scroll with the University’s motto, Sapientia et Doctrina (Wisdom and Learning). The scroll rests on a field in which tongues of fire are displayed, recalling the outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of wisdom (sapientia) that marked the first Pentecost. A laurel wreath at the center of which are listed the names of the disciplines that are or have been taught at the University rests at the top of the seal. (The University had a medical school from 1905 to 1919 and a College of Pharmacy from 1912 to 1971.) These central heraldic devices are enclosed within a circular field fashioned as a belt and edged with beads. The field bears the University’s name (rendered in Latin) and the date of its foundation.

[AR 2013-160; 2013-205; 2014-244; 2014-40; 2014-200] ________________________________________________________________ BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Whitney Smith (born February 26, 1940) conceived of the term vexillology in 1957, synthesizing the Latin word vexillum (flag) and the Greek suffix -logia (study). Vexillology, originally a sub-discipline of heraldry, is the scientific study of the history, symbolism, and usage of flags or, by extension, any interest in flags in general. In 1961, Smith cofounded The Flag Bulletin, the first journal in the world devoted to the study of flags. The following year in 1962, Smith founded the Flag Research Center in Winchester, Massachusetts. Smith received his Bachelor's degree from Harvard University (1961) and his Ph.D. from Boston University in 1968, completing his dissertation, "Prolegomena to the Study of Political Symbolism," the same year. After graduating from Harvard, Smith served as professor of political science at Boston University. Smith worked with the international community to organize the First International Congress of Vexillology in 1965, then cofounded and the International Federation of Vexillological Associations (FIAV) in 1969.

Denning ________________________________ Barney Warf Date Defended: April 29, 2016 ii The Dissertation Committee for ROBERT W. MILLER certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: CONSTRUCTING A SPATIAL IMAGINARY: THE FORMATION AND RE- PRESENTATION OF MONTE CARLO AS A VACATION-LEISURE PARADISE, 1854-1950 ________________________________ Chairperson Christopher Forth Date approved: April 29, 2016 iii Abstract In 1854, Monaco faced an uncertain future. The principality subsisted on a struggling agro- economy, encountered serious challenges to maintaining its sovereignty, and contained a disgruntled populace overburdened with taxes and state monopolies. European contemporaries perceived the small state as a premodern, peripheral backwater and as a minor stop on the Grand Tour. Within a few short decades, perceptions of Monaco and its newly-founded city, Monte Carlo, changed so radically that the place became the premier vacation-leisure destination for European and American elites and a byword for luxury, pleasure, and cosmopolitanism. Monte Carlo maintained its reputation as a vacation-leisure paradise and as a playground for the wealthy and sophisticated for 150 years. This dissertation examines how, despite seemingly insurmountable disadvantages, Monaco established and maintained a thriving tourist economy from its early unsuccessful attempts to found a tourism industry in 1854 until its irrefutable operation as a site of mass tourism by 1950.
