Quote:
The seal of Gannon University is a combination of two different sets of symbols.
The right side of the shield is proper to the Gannon family and represents the spiritual symbolism in the baptismal names of Gannon’s founder, Archbishop John Mark Gannon. The three crosses in the upper right corner express faith in the Trinity. When rendered in color, the crosses are depicted on a green field that symbolizes the virtue of hope. In the lower right corner the halved eagle is the apocalyptic symbol of St. John the Evangelist. In a colored version, the eagle is depicted on a red shield which refers to the martyrdom of St. Mark.
The left side of the shield includes traditional symbols of learning: the lamp of learning, the book of knowledge, and the sun as a symbol of enlightenment. The waves indicate that the University is located adjacent to Lake Erie. The three Latin words on the ribbons – Sanitas, Scientia, and Sanctitas – stand for [soundness of mind, knowledge, and holiness of life], or the holistic development of individuals. The Latin text that circles the seal states that Gannon is situated in Erie, Pennsylvania, and was founded in 1925.
