The Colegio de Abogados y Abogadas de Costa Rica (Costa Rica Bar Professional
College) was established by Decree No. 24 issued on 6 August 1881. The board was
elected on 12 August and the college was inaugurated on 21 August. During his
address, the newly elected president, Eusebio Figueroa Oreamuno, vehemently
called General Guardia to re-establish the constitutional regime, to no avail.
Eusebio Figueroa Oreamuno (1827-1883) played a key role in the consolidation of
democracy in Costa Rica. He exerted several prominent public charges such as
director of the official gazette and of the national print, rector of
Universidad de Santo Tomás, president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Vice
President of the Constituent Assembly (1869) and interim President of the
Republic. He was killed in a duel by León Fernández Bonilla (1840-1885, who was
murdered by Antonio Figueroa Espinach, Eusebio's son).

representing "Liceo de Costa Rica".

Liceo de Costa Rica was established on 6 February 1887 during the administration of President of the Republic Bernardo Soto Alfaro (1854-1931; in office, 1886-1888) who, along with his Minister of Education Mauro Fernandez, were responsible for instilling the values of education among the populace. The government appointed three Swiss teachers, Louis Schönau (Director; Philosophy and Pedagogy), William Philippin (Geography, History, and French), and Paul Biolley (Life Sciences, Latin and Greek) as the main teachers. The Cuban-Spanish Hildebrando Martí taught Spanish, while the famous civil engineer Odilón Jiménez taught mathematics. Civic Education and Political Economics were taught by José Astúa Aguilar. Appointed Secretary of the institute, Tranquilino Chacón also taught Accounting and Calligraphy. Próspero Calderón taught Drawing, while Jesús Nuñez taught Singing and José Moreno taught Sports. The institute was transferred in 1902 to buildings originally intended as a jail-house, which were registered in 1981 as Architectural, Historical and Cultural Heritage of San José.
Among the famous ex-alumni of Liceo de Costa Rica are five Presidents of the
Republic: Otilio Ulate Blanco (1891-1973; in office, 1949-1953), Mario Echandi
Jiménez (1915-2011; in office, 1958-1962), Francisco Orlich Bolmarcich
(1907-1969; in office, 1962-1966), José Joaquín Trejos Fernández (1916-2010; in
office, 1966-1970), and Daniel Oduber Quirós (1921-1991; in office, 1974-1978).

Colegio Madre del Divino Pastor was established in Goicoechea by the
Congregation of the Capuchin Sisters of the Mother of the Divine Pastor, a
congregation founded on 27 May 1850 in Ripoll (Catalonia, Spain) by Father José
Tous y Soler (1811-1871; beatified on 25 April 2010 by Benedict XVI). Invited to
Costa Rica by Father Santiago Núñez Vargas, the congregation arrived in
Goicoechea on 11 July 1953. Colegio Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe was officially
approved on 12 March 1954 by the Higher Council of Education; located at the
eastern side of the Guadalupe parish church, the institute was the first parish
school established in Costa Rica. In November 1955, the parish withdrew from the
institute's management; accordingly, the nuns established Colegio de la Divina
Pastora, which was inaugurated on 20 February 1958. The cornerstone of the new
institute's building was set on 30 May 1964. The institute was renamed Colegio
Madre del Divino Pastor in 1973.
The flag of the institute is
horizontally divided blue-pink-coffee brown. Blue and pink are the colours of
Mary's clothes. Coffee brown is the colour of the Franciscan cloak.

"Universidad del Turismo" (UTUR) was approved on 17 June 1996 during Session
No. 302 of the "Consejo Nacional de Enseñanza Superior Universitaria Privada" (CONESUP
- National Council for Private Higher University Education). Located in San
José, UTUR is the first university in Central America dedicated to tourism
industry, offering grades in three sectors, Hotel Management, Food and Beverage
Management, and Ecotourism Management.
The flag of UTUR is shown, graphically, on the university's website, as
horizontally divided green-blue with the emblem of the university in the middle.
The emblem of UTUR is a convex triangular shield, green with a blue point. The
green field is charged with a white emblem surmounted with the writing
"UNIVERSIDAD / DEL / TOURISMO" in white letters and five white stars. "COSTA
RICA" is written in white letters in the blue field of the shield.
Green and blue must be associated to tourism, representing the forests and the
sea, I have not found any description of the emblem. respectively. I see a white
leaf more or less shaped like a geographic map of Costa Rica, with the green
element recalling either a desk ring or a dish bell, the green dot placed at the
geographic location of the university.

"Universidad Estatal a Distancia" (UNED) was created by Law No. 6,044,
adopted on 22 February 1977 by the Legislative Assembly and published on 12
March 1977 in the State official gazette, No. 50. UNED is "specialized in
education using the means of social communication" (Article 1), that is, in
distance education and e-learning. In reference to other such universities
worldwide, the name of UNED can, tentatively, be translated as "State Open
University". UNED manages a network of 44 "Centros Universitarios" scattered all
over the country.

http://www.uned.ac.cr/Reglamento/documents/LEYDECREACION.pdf - Law No. 6,044
The flag of UNED is prescribed by Agreement No. 492, adopted on 27 September
1983 by the University Council.
"As an institutional symbol, the flag of the University shall be flown together
with the flag of Costa Rica in all the premises housing programs and activities
related to the institution. The institutional flag shall be made of a white
rectangle with two horizontal wavy stripes located in the lower part of the flag
and running from side to side. These stripes shall be blue Reflex blue (lower
stripe) and yellow 124c (upper stripe). They shall be separated by a small,
white stripe. The logo of the University [without writing], in its colour
version, shall be placed in the upper right corner of the flag.
The design of the flag and the elements that constitute it are specified in
graphic form as follows: [colour drawing]"
http://www.uned.ac.cr/mercadeo/bandera.shtml
The logo of UNED was designed by the watercolourist Roberto Cambronero,
commissioned by Oscar Aguilar Bulgarelli, founding member and first Executive
Vice Director of UNED. Interviewed in March 2004, Bulgarelli explained that the
basic concept of the logo is a letter "U" represented as a wave travelling in
two directions, upwards and outwards in different levels, therefore forming a
disc including five concentric "U". The wave has no limit, emphasizing that
higher education has been spreading since the creation of UNED all over the
national territory and, through distance education, over all the sectors that
could not have direct access to education. The logo shows the movement of
Hertzian waves, recalling that the creation of UNED occurred with the set up of
SINART ["Sistema Nacional de Radio y Televisión" - Radio and Television National
System] as a complementary organ to the work developed by UNED. The upwards
projection of the waves symbolizes the surpassing of mind by the means of
knowledge and education. Accordingly, UNED promotes the increase of the mind of
the individuals, of the institution, and of the Costa Rica society.
Cambronero explained that this concept emerged from investigations on the
Hertzian waves, since he had been commissioned to design a symbol that would
identify both UNED and SINART, which was achieved in 1977. He got the idea from
the similarity between the "U" of "University" and the waves. The original
emblem of UNED was a vertical rectangle, with in the upper part the
"isologotype" of UNED [that is the wavy disk] and in the lower part the letters
"UNED". The colors were yellow, for heath and joy, and dark coffee brown, for
tradition. The logo was changed in 2007 for the celebration of the 30th
anniversary of UNED, with the blue and white wavy disk surmounting the acronym
and name of UNED.

Enrique Villalobos, Head of the PR Office of UNED in 1983, recalls that the
original flag proposal was slightly different, including a yellow sun, the
silhouette of blue mountains and a white sky. The idea was to represent the
emergence of a new university as a new sun irradiating culture and education.
Blue, white and yellow, kept in the final version of the flag, are the
institutional colors of UNED.
