"Colegio Calasanz Bogotá" (CCB), founded on 21
March 1949 in Bogotá, was the first Piarist foundation in
Colombia. The order was founded in the 17th century by St. Joseph
Calasanz (1557-1648), who was declared "Universal Patron of
all the Christian popular schools in the world" by Pope Pius
XII in 1948. Calasanz founded in 1597 the first free school in
Europe, and, in 1617 the "Pauline Congregation of Poor
Cleric Regulars of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools"
(named after Pope Paul V, who had approved it), which was
elevated to a religious order in 1621 by Pope Gregory XV. The
Piarists are known as "Escolapios" in some parts of
South America, including Colombia. See: <escolapios.org.co>.
The flag of CCB, according to a photo and the description
available on the CCB
website, is horizontally divided green-white-green with the
Piarist emblem in the middle.
Green represents the earth and our worldly history. White
represents the celeste light and eternal life. The combination of
the two colours represents the Piarist educationalist ideal, to
reach God through the human life considered with radicality. The
flag represents, therefore, the two Piarist educationalist
principles, piety and literature, or, God's light
and the human science's light.
The Piarist emblem is made of a yellow sun with the anagram of
the name of the Blessed Virgin in the middle and four Greek
letters (mu, pi, thęta, gamma) standing for "Maria, Mother
of God". The emblem means that the Blessed Virgin is the
shield and protection of the students, whose way is enlightened
by Jesus, light of the world.

Jairo Alonso Méndez Méndez, 14 November 2004
The University of Caldas, founded in Manizales on 24 May 1943,
is made of the Faculties of Agronomic Sciences, Law and Social
Sciences, Exact and Nature Sciences, Health Sciences,
Engineering, and Arts and Humanities.
The flag of the
university, as shown graphically and described on the university
website, is blue with the emblem of the university in the
middle.
The institutional colours are associated with thought, as the
quality and luminosity of gold and the deepness, seriousness and
solemnity of blue. The contrast and the location of the emblem in
the middle of the flag increases the meaning of the colours,
offering a both classical and stunning picture.
The emblem of the university is a sun with eleven rays,
surrounded by the name of the university and its motto,
"Lumina spargo" (also the name of the university
review), all in yellow.
