Anciennes armoiries de l’Université d’Ottawa

Ces anciennes armoiries de l’Université surplombent les portes principales du pavillon Hagen depuis la construction du bâtiment, en 1931.

La date de création de l’emblème est inconnue, mais on estime qu’elle a été dessinée vers 1882 par un père oblat.

Les abeilles représentent les étudiants travaillant avec beaucoup d’ardeur, tandis que les autres éléments symbolisent la France (fleurs de lys), les Anglais (roses), l’Irlande (lierre et harpe) et l’Écosse (chardon), pays à l’origine des groupes présents dans la région à l’époque. On y remarque aussi la croix des pères oblats ainsi que la devise de l’Université.

Old University of Ottawa coat of arms

This example of the old University coat of arms was placed above the main entrance to Hagen Hall in 1931 when the building was constructed.

Its date of creation is unknown but it is thought to have been made around 1882 by an Oblate father.

The bees refer to students working with great fervour. Other elements represent the origins of communities present in the region at the time: the fleur-de-lys for the French, the roses for the English, the ivy and harp for the Irish and the thistle for the Scots. The cross of the Oblate Fathers can be seen, as well as the University motto.
