A quarter was given to each college then affiliated, and the vacant quarter was filled up with the Provincial arms. Accordingly, the seal of the University of the Prairies now contains the Government shield, with the buffalo prominent upon it; the St. Boniface emblem, consisting of an open Bible, with inscribed on its pages “Pueris his dedit Deus scientiam,” the whole supported by the maple leaf between two fleur-de-lis,- St. John College arms, being St. John and the eagle; and Manitoba College device, a fruitful vine, crossed by the motto “Floreat.” The whole shield is surmounted by the Crown, and is surrounded by the designation “Universitas Manitobensis.” (source UM Today News) Unlike the UM logo, which has changed since the University was established in 1877, the UM seal will always remain in its original form.
