I recently wrote that the Colombian Theresian educational institutes could
share a common flag, horizontally divided white-blue. My assumption, based on
two samples, was erroneous.
Colegio Teresiano de Bogotá is one of the seven Colombian institutes chaired by
the Community of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. It was founded on 12 February
1962 and officially registered on 9 September 1963.
The flag of Colegio Teresiano de Bogotá is presented on the institute's website
as horizontally divided light blue-white-coffee brown. Coffee brown represents
the Earth and the soil. Light blue represents transcendence of the infinite, the
mystery of cosmos, the metaphysical dimension of reality. White, placed between
the two other colors, represent the Earth and Heavens, the finite and infinite,
the immanent and the transcendent.

Flag of UPB is based on <www.upb.edu.co>.

"Universidad Pontificiana Bolivariana" (UPB) is a
Roman Catholic institute, recognized "ab homine" by the
Archbishop of Medellín Tiberio de J. Salazar y Herrera on 15
September 1936, and subsequently recognized by the Government of
Colombia on 22 February 1937 (Decree No. 48). The university was
upgraded to a "Pontificia" by the Holy Congregation of
Seminaries and Universities on 16 August 1945. UPB has its main
seat in Medellín and secondary seats in Bucaramanga, Montería
and Palmira.
The flag of UPB, as shown graphically and described on the UPB
website, is horizontally divided red-black with the emblem of
UPB in the middle.
Red represents charity while black represents science and
modesty. The flagstaff shall have a flame-shaped finial, with the
same meaning as the shield.
The flag shall be used in all the official and academic events.
The shield of UPB, designed by Enrique Cerezao, is made of a
black shield with a yellow border, charged with the Greek capital
letters "Alpha" and "Omega", a flame, the
letters "UPB", all in yellow, placed on a red and
yellow "Cross of the Knights of
Portugal", indeed a Cross of Christ.
"Alpha" and "Omega", as the first and last
letters of the Greek alphabet, represent God as the beginning and
the end of anything. The flame is the Christian symbol of
science. Yellow represents faith, purity and constancy. The
meaning of red and black is the same as on the flag.
"Manual
de Imagen Corporativa UPB", released in 2005, gives a
very detailed construction sheet of the shield (p. 26) and
recommends the following shades (pp. 21 and 59):
Red: CMYK 0 100 100 0 - RGB 255 0 0 - Pantone 1795c
Gold: CMYK 0 20 100 0 - RGB 255 204 0 - Pantone 116c
Black: CMYK 0 0 0 100 - RGB 0 0 0 - Pantone Process black.

Former, probably unofficial, flag of UPB

Translated from Universidad del Bosque (Bogota)
website at <www.unbosque.edu.co>:
"Using several schemas used for summarizing a few of the
program ideas, the flag was designed. A rectangle which two
oblique lines divide in three triangles: the upper and the lower
are rectangle (triangles) and in the middle another triangles
that is opening till it reaches the base and continues to the
infinity meaning the raising complexity of our studies, the
progressive increment of our knowledge that never ends. The
upper in orange color, the color of medicine, the lower in green
color symbol of hope, and the central white, sign of clean and
purity and in it the symbol".
Carlos Thompson, 28 May 2003
"Escuela Colombiana de Medicina" was recognized by
the Ministry of National Education on 4 August 1978 (Decree No.
11153) on the grounds of "Clínica El Bosque".
The institute was upgraded to a university by the Ministry of
National Education on 5 February 1997 (Decree No. 327).
The symbol of the university, shown on the right part of the
flag, was adopted in 1982. It is based on a Muisca artefact kept
in the Gold Museum of the National Bank as item No. 1990. Found
in Soacha and 15- cm high, the item represents a mace and two
snakes, probably belonging to a lord or a shaman. The artefact is
shown in the book by Antonio Grass, "Diseño precolombino
colombiano" (Bogotá, 1972).

Colegio de Boyacá (Colboy) was established in Tunja (Boyacá Department) by
National Decree No. 55, signed on 17 May 1822 by General Francisco de Paula
Santander, the Vice President of the Republic, in charge of the Executive. This
Decree initiated state education in Colombia.
The institute was officially inaugurated on 20 October 1822 in the St. Augustine
convent, built from 1578 to 1659 and closed in 1821. The sermon initiating
teaching was given by the Franciscan friar Francisco Florido, parish priest of
Ramiriquí. The event was reported by the assessor Francisco Soto in an article
published on 17 November 1822 on the front page of the Gaceta de Colombia, No.
57. The predicator of the convent, Friar José Antonio Cháves (1787-1856) was
appointed the first director of the institute, which he ran from 1822 to 1823
and from 1826 to 1827. He was appointed Professor of Religious Fundaments,
Theology, Apologetic Religious Studies, Holy Book and Moral and Dogmatic
Theological Institutions at the Boyacá University by a Decree signed on 5
January 1828 by Simón Bolívar. The Chair of Civil Law, the first in the country,
was established on
21 May 1825 at Colegio de Boyacá. The Boyacá University was established by
National Decree of 30 May 1827, signed by General Francisco de Paula Santander;
according to the Decree signed on 5 January 1828 by Simón Bolívar, the
University and the Colegio would have the same Director and Deputy Director.
Ruled by the Augustine Fathers from 1830 to 1831, Colegio de Boyacá was
re-established as a state institute by the Provincial Decree of 22 October 1832.
The University and the Colegio were relocated in 1835 to the old Jesuit convent,
established in the first half o the 17th century. Transformed in 1880 into an
Agriculture Institute, Colegio de Boyacá was re-established in 1886. Renamed
Colegio Ricaurte in 1896, the institute eventually re-adopted its original name
in 1903. Among the alumni of the Colegio de Boyacá are several governors,
ministers, bishops and the Presidents of the Republic Mariano Ospina Rodríguez
(1857-1861), Santos Gutiérrez (1863; 1868-1870), Clímaco Calderón Reyes (21-22
December 1882), Rafael Reyes (1904-1909) and Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1953-1957).
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided green-red-white. The flag is
derived of the flag of Boyacá, but with three, equal stripes instead of four,
unequal. Green is a symbol of faith, sincere friendship, commitment to service,
respect and hope in better days. Green represents also the fertility of the
fields and the underground rich in emeralds. White is a symbol of territorial
attachment, deep thoughts, dedication to intelligence and territorial unity. Red
is a symbol of the heroes who fought for independence and freedom during the
1819 Liberation Campaign. They fecundated with their generous blood the
greatness of Colombia and made of it an everlasting free republic.
