This is the Crest and the Motto of this institution. Let this be always before your eyes to remind you the aims and objectives of your education and the level of excellence you are expected to achieve in this College.
If you have a closer look at it, on the right half of the shield like crest, you see three soaring eagles reminding you that you should never be satisfied with mediocrity, but aim at excellence in intellectual, physical and spiritual dimensions of your personality. Besides, you also see a jumping lion symbolizing the vigour and courage you must cultivate.
On the left half of the Crest, you observe the sun shining over the West Coast. Every student passing through the portals of this institution must be like the sun illuminating and contributing to the growth and prosperity of the people of this land.
When you look at the College Crest, there are the letters IHS in the Centre of the rising sun. This is the abbreviation of the name of Jesus (which in Greek is written as IHSUS). That name symbolizes deepest faith in God, commitment to humanity and the readiness to sacrifice one's life for others. The Motto of this Institution is Lucet et Ardet. These Latin words which mean 'Shine to Enkindle' refer to the qualities of the mind and the heart. It is the deep desire of this Alma Mater to present to the world and our nation, men and women with knowledge and creativity and hearts burning with genuine love and concern for others.
