"Instituto Agrěcola de Carcasí" (ITA) was founded
on 16 April 1953 (Decree No. 0991) as "Escuela Vocacional
Agrícola" at Carcasí,
Department of Santander.
The flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described on

website.

Mirriñao", incorporating the "Benilda
Caicedo", "Ricardo Nieto", "Gran

Colegio Nacional Académico de Cartago was established on 5 September 1839 by
Presidential Decree, replacing a Franciscan convent. Incorporated to the
National University in 1887, the institute was transferred in March 1887 to the
Society of Jesus. Suspended in 1891 by National Decree No. 452 because of the "lack
of subordination to discipline by the students" , the institute was renamed in
1897 Liceo del Quindo, and eventually closed in 1912 and replaced by an Escuela
Superior where agriculture and mechanics were taught, re-established the next
year, the Liceo regained its autonomy in 1915. The institute was nationalized on
1 October 1939. Institución Educativa Académico was eventually established by

Académico, Centro Docente No. 48 Antonio José de Sucre, Centro Docente No. 47
Paulina Balcázar, and Centro Docente Roberto Castaño.

Law 48 issued in 1945 prescribed the foundation of four
"Colegios Mayores" of Cundinamarca (in Bogotá),
Antioquia (in Medellín), Bolívar (in Carthagena) and Cauca (in
Popayán). The most recent of the four institutes, "Colegio
Mayor del Cauca" was inaugurated on 13 November 1967 as
"Colegio Mayor de Cultura Popular del Cauca".
The flag of the institute,
as shown graphically and described on the website
of the institute, is vertically divided blue-yellow-blue with the
institute's
logotype in the top of the yellow stripe. The first two stripes
seem to be of the same width and the third one much wider.
Yellow is the colour of the sun, of light, life, action and
power. It symbolizes strength, will and stimulation. It
represents the human intelligence enlightened by the divine
revelation. According to Vincent Van Gogh, yellow represents
"friendship and love".
Blue represents intelligence and deep emotions. It is the colour
of the infinite and of the dreams. It symbolizes wisdom,
loyalty, eternal truth and immortality.
The first logotype of the institute was prescribed by Decree No. 019 of the Board of
Directors, adopted on 1 November 2001. It represents "El Camarín" framed in a white rectangle with a blue border
outlined in yellow and charged with the name of the institute in
white capital letters.
"El Camarín", lit. the Cabinet, was designed in 1760
by the German architect Simon Schendherr on the facade of the
second floor of the Church of the Incarnation. It represents the
communication between the inside and outside words. "El
Camarín" has three windows, two rectangle on the sides and
one circular in the main axis, symbolizing a large eye always
watching the ever changing cosmos.
Ivan Sache, 16 December 2008
The current logotype was adopted in 2009 by the Board of Directors. It
features a schematic, blue representation of "El Camarín" placed on a yellow
background and framed with a blue rectangle with rounded-off angles.
