Translated from an article published by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México:
" During his rectory, José Vasconcelos endowed the University with its current shield in which the Mexican eagle and the Andean condor, like a double-headed bird, protect the display of the map of Latin America, from the northern border of Mexico to Cape Horn, shaping the unification of the Ibero-Americans: "Our new and old continent, predestined to contain a fifth race, the cosmic race, in which the dispersed will merge and unity will be consummated."

Mexican text:
Durante su rectorado, José Vasconcelos dotó a la Universidad de su actual escudo en el cual el águila mexicana y el cóndor andino, cual ave bicéfala, protegen el despliegue del mapa de América Latina, desde la frontera norte de México hasta el Cabo de Hornos, plasmando la unificación de los iberoamericanos: "Nuestro continente nuevo y antiguo, predestinado a contener una raza quinta, la raza cósmica, en la cual se fundirán las dispersas y se consumará la unidad".
