It is likewise reminiscent of the deposit of faith of the Roman Catholic Church and of the traditions of two teaching communities within the Church . The decorative outer circle indicates the date the University was chartered and the motto, "Veritatem, Justitiam Diligite ." The quotation "Love Ye Truth and Justice," a conflation of Zechariah 8.8 and 8.19, expresses the biblical message that truth and justice are the necessary conditions for peace, prosperity and happiness . This wise instruction has also been discovered by reason and confirmed by history. This founding conviction of the University of Dallas continues to inform all that UD aspires to do . Enclosed within the blue band which bears the motto, in an octagonal field of green, are several emblems associated with the traditions of the University . The central figure of the triquetra interwoven with the triangle is a double symbol of the Holy Trinity to Whom the University is dedicated . The circle is a symbol of eternity and of the unity of the Godhead . The fleur-de-lis, at once an ancient symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of France, recalls the direct and indirect French origins of the two teaching orders which cooperated initially with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth in establishing the University of Dallas . The Cistercian Order originated in France in the Eleventh Century; the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur was founded in Belgium in 1819 by a Cistercian Monk . A crusader’s shield, emblematic of faith, stands within the green field on either side of the central device . The shield on the left contains a star, a traditional emblem of Mary, as well as the chosen emblem of Texas, the Lone Star State . The shield on the right presents the torch of liberty and learning . The branches of live oak and olive trees, taken from the Seal of Texas, make further reference to the State . The Trinity River, on which the University is located, is represented by the he- raldic device of the wavy lines centered beneath the emblem of the Blessed Trinity . The Official Seal, in all of its symbolic color, hangs in the J.M. Haggar, Sr., University Center foyer . The exquisite mosaic, completed by art alumnus Xavier Zamarripa, was commissioned by the Class of 2002. 4 UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS Mission The University of Dallas is dedicated to the pursuit of wisdom, of truth and of virtue as the proper and primary ends of education . The University seeks to educate its students so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues, prepare themselves for life and work in a problematic and changing world and become leaders able to act responsibly for their own good and for the good of their family, community, country and church . The University understands human nature to be spiritual and physical, rational and free . It is guided by principles of learning that acknowledge transcendent standards of truth and excellence that are themselves the object of search in an education . The University is especially dedicated to the pursuit of liberal education in both its undergraduate and graduate programs . In its liberal arts programs the University is committed to the recovery and renewal of the Western heritage of liberal educa- tion . The University is equally committed to providing professional programs at the graduate level . Its professional programs, in a common spirit with the University’s liberal arts programs, are dedicated to reflecting critically upon the ends governing one’s own profession, to fostering principled, moral judgment and to providing the knowledge and skills requisite for professional excellence . Whether professional or liberal, the University is “convinced of the priority of the ethical over the technical, of the primacy of persons over things, of the superiority of the spirit over matter .”1 The University seeks to offer those graduate and undergraduate programs that will address important needs of society and that can be offered in a manner consistent with the University’s primary institutional commitments . The University as a whole is shaped by the long tradition of Catholic learning and acknowledges its commitment to the Catholic Church and its teaching . The University is dedicated to the recovery of the Christian intellectual tradition and to the renewal of Catholic theology in fidelity to the Church and in constructive dialogue with the modern world . It seeks to maintain the dialogue of faith and reason in its curriculum and programs without violating the proper autonomy of each of the arts and sciences . The University is open to faculty and students of all denomina- tions and it supports their academic and religious freedom . It thus seeks to provide an academic and collegial community which will help students acquire a mature understanding of their faith, develop their spiritual lives and prepare themselves for their calling as men and women of faith in the world . THE CONSTANTIN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS The Constantin College of Liberal Arts seeks to educate students of seriousness, intelligence and spirit in accordance with the fundamental mission of the University of Dallas—so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues which will prepare them for life and work in a changing and problematic world, achieve a mature un- derstanding of their faith and become men and women who act responsibly for their own good and the good of their family, community, country and church . The specific mission of the Constantin College is to provide undergraduate education through baccalaureate degree programs which include a substantial and coherent core curriculum common to all undergraduates and major studies in the humanities and sciences proper to liberal learning . The core curriculum emphasizes the study of the great deeds and works of Western civilization, both ancient and modern . The majors are built upon the core and invite students to disciplined inquiry into fundamental aspects of being and of our relation to God, to nature and to fel- 1 .

The curriculum as a whole seeks to enable students to achieve the knowledge of nature and the understanding of the human condition necessary for them to comprehend the fundamental character of the world in which they are called to live and work . The College also offers programs through which students may take a respon- sible part in the rich and varied life of the campus and the surrounding community . The undergraduate programs as a whole provide a basis for students to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life’s work whether through immediate career entry or through further education in graduate and professional schools . THE SATISH & YASMIN GUPTA COLLEGE OF BUSINESS The Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business is a professional school whose primary purpose is to prepare its students to become competent and responsible managers who are principled and moral leaders .
