The Tbilisi State University (TSU; website), the first-ever national University in the Caucasus was opened on 26 January 1918, the day of commemoration of King David the Builder (new style 8 February). The establishment of the university was pushed by the Georgian Free University Society, whose members first gathered on 12 May 1917 at the apartment of the chemist Petre Melikishvili (1850-1927) in Tbilisi. the meeting was chaired by the historian and archeologist Ekvtime Takaishvili (1863-1953). It was decided to establish only one faculty initially – the Faculty of Philosophy, which would have united humanitarian fields as well as natural science and mathematics. The Council of Professors elected Petre Melikishvili (1850-1927) the first rector of the university, while the historian and linguist Ivane Javakhishvili (1876-1940) took charge of the Faculty of Philosophy.
In 1989 the Tbilisi State University was named after Ivane
Javakhishvili, who served as the second rector of TSU (1919-1926).
TSU is composed of the Faculties of Exact and Natural Sciences,
Humanities, Social and Political Sciences, Psychology and Educational
Sciences, Economics and Business, Medicine, and Law.
The flag of TSU (photo, photo) is blue with the university's coat of arms in the center.
The coat of arms of TSU, adopted as a draft on 5 February 1918 during
the fourth meeting of the Council of Professors, was first officially
used in 1922.
The arms were designed by Dimitri Shevardnadze (1885-1937). Shevarnadze
studied arts in St. Petersburg ant at the Munich Academy of Arts. He
laid the foundation of the Georgian Artists's Society in 1917,
contribute to the establishment of the Georgian Museum of Arts in 1920
and founded the Georgian National Gallery in 1920. His firm opposition
to the destruction of the Metekhi church in Tbilisi resulted in his
imprisonment and execution in 1937 during Stalin's repressions.
The arms are based on early, zoomorphic pre-Christian and Christian
iconography. The central element of the seal represents a she-deer with
a baby deer, as a symbol of transmission of wisdom and knowledge from
generation to generation.
The ring surrounded the deer is charged with 24 animals (leopard, lion,
sheep, snake, antelope, tiger, rhinoceros, bull, roe...) and mythical
beasts (Pegasus, griffon...). The design is based on the decoration of
the church of Ishkani (once part of a famous monastery, today located
in Turkey, near the village of Arpacık, Artvin Province; photo), surveyed in 1917 by an archeological expedition Shevarnadze was part of. Dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin, the church was built in 1006 by Gurgen (994-1008), the
first Georgian king from the Bagratid dynasty. While the original
artwork includes only 19 figures, Shevarnadze added another 5 elements
for the sake of symmetry of the design.
