"Colegio Seminario Menor Diocesiano" is a Roman
Catolic institute ran by the Diocese of Chiquinquirá, Department
of Boyacá. The institute was founded by the first Bishop of

Education on 3 March 1982 (Decree No. 2099).
The flag of the institute, as shown on a photo and described on
the
website of the institute, is horizontally divided emerald
green-blue. Green represents the "vegetal velvet covering
the picturesque landscape surrounding the institute", the
green "God's gems" found in the underground of Western
Boyacá (that is, emeralds), and, most important, hope. Blue
symbolizes the Blessed Virgin, the patroness of the institute.
These two colours are also used in the coat of arms of the

The arms are canting; "arboleda' means "grove"
(of trees). The website calls it the "tree of wisdom of
Aristotle," so apparently a diagrammatic representation of
the hierarchy of the sciences rather than an actual tree.
Eugene Ipavec, 14 and 21 October 2007
I have not found yet a reference to Aristotle, but René
Descartes (Les principes de la philosophie, 1644; originally
written in Latin as "Principia philosophiae") defined a
"tree of knowledge". My own translation from the French
text:
"Therefore philosophy is like a tree, whose roots are
metaphysics, trunk is physics and branches emerging from the
trunk are all the other sciences, which can be reduced to three
main ones, medecine, mechanics and ethics, I mean here the
highest and most perfect ethics, which, assuming a perfect
knowledge of the other sciences, is the highest degree of wisdom.
Since fruits are cropped neither from the root or the trunk of
the tree built but only from the end of the branches, the main
usefulness of philosophy depends on its parts which cannot be
learned only as the last one."
The Catalan philosoph and mystic Ramon Llull (XIIIth century)
also uses the metaphor of the "tree of sciences", which
has 18 roots, made of the nine divine (absolute) principles,
including wisdom, and of the nine logical (relative) principles.

"Universidad Sergio Arboleda", located in Bogotá,
is named after Sergio Arboleda (1822-1888). Born in Popayán,
Arboleda studied Law at "Universidad del Cauca", where
he was subsequently appointed Rector. Arboleda dedicated most of
his life to the education of the youth but also contributed to
the political life of Colombia, as a member of the National
Congress, of the Assembly of Cundinamarca and of the Provincial
Chamber; he submitted in 1885 a draft of Constitution to the
National Assembly.
The shield of the university was designed by Dr. Alvaro Gómez
Hurtado, in collaboration with Dr. Ramón Bulla Qunitina, Dean of
the School of Philosophy, Humanities and Education.
The trunk of the tree represents Philosophy. The branches on the
right side of the trunk are Humanities, such as Literature,
Philosophy, Astronomy, Law, Communication...
The branches on the left side of the trunk are Exact Sciences,
such as Mathematics, Finance, Engineering, Economy... The border
of the shield encompasses all knowledge, with the following
caveat emptor: "If first we don't understand God's love, all
knowledge will be difficult, obscure and unuseful".

"Universidad Simón Bolívar" was founded on 15
October 1972 in Barranquilla by the economist José Consuegra
Higgins (b. 1926), former Rector of "Universidad del
Atlántico".
The flag of the university, as shown graphically and described on
the university
website, is white with the green emblem of the university.
The emblem of the university is made of a big letter
"U" and the signature of Simón Bolívar. Green
represents the Bolivarian ideal and the fertility of the fields.
The text seems to indicate that the signature is taken from the
"Carta de Jamaica" ("Letter from
Jamaica") written by the Liberator on 6 September
1815, mostly calling for the union of the countries of the
Americas (see the original text in Spanish at <ww.simon-bolivar.org>).

I happen to have this text in English but it does not mention
