Colegio La Salle was established in Cúcuta (Norte del Santander Department)
by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian School (Lasallians). Liceo del
Santísimo Niño Jesús was founded on 15 May 1931 by Friar Idinael Enrique,
director of Colegio Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, as a private branch of that
institute. The new institute soon superseded Colegio Sagrado Corazón de Jesús by
its number of students. The Provincial Lasallian chapter decided in 1940 to
withdraw from Cúcuta following a dispute with the municipal administration;
after protest by the population of the town and by the teachers, Father Alfonso
Juan was allowed to establish a new, smaller Lasallian institute on the Villa de
Fidelia estate, purchased on 12 December 1941. The building of the new institute
would be delayed until 11 June 1951; the institute was eventually blessed on 26
January 1954.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided
yellow-blue.

Universidad de La Salle, Bogota,
Colombia (University of La Salle) - According to <www.lasalle.edu.co>,
the picture show a blue-white-blue, equally divided vertically
flag, but in the text they say that the white is wider and the
coat of arms is in the middle enclosed by a golden circle.
Carlos Thompson, 17 March 2003
The flag is one of the most representative symbols of the
university, used in main ceremonies, the Day of St. Jean-Baptiste
de La Salle (15 May), graduation ceremonies, special ceremonies.
The graduates of the university shall take the oath on the flag.
The flag shall be half-staffed after the death of students,
professors or administrators of the university, and may cover
their coffin.
Blue represents the sky that covers us, water that feeds us and
freedom, the source of democracy.
White represents the light that enlightens and guides us, ethics,
honesty, dignity and purity in the intentions.
The shield placed in the middle of the flag represents the
"Signum Fidei" (Sing of Faith) of the Institute of the
Brothers of the Christian School (aka De La Salle Brothers).
The shield of the university reflects its origin, philosophy and
project for the future. The shield is of modern shape,
symbolizing the institute as a modern community.
The honour (central) piece of the shield, a pile or issuing from
the base, symbolizes rectitude and honesty that should guide all
the acts of the university, as well as the exemplary
honourability of its governors and the commitment to help the
poor and defend the principle of authority. It is charged with a
cross gules, shaped like the cross used by the knight crusaders,
as a symbol of Christian and Catholic faith and of a new crusade
for culture, science and technology led by the university.
The dexter (left) piece, azure, symbolizes serenity and balance.
It is charged with the Lasallian star argent with projections or,
which is the universal symbol of the Lasallian movement.
The sinister (right) piece, gules, symbolizes intrepidity,
heroism and sacrifice. It is charged with three broken chevrons
or taken from the arms of the De La Salle family.
The scroll placed above the shield bears in capital letters
sable, as a symbol of science and knowledge, the name of the
university, the motto of the De La Salle Brothers ("Signum
Fidei", in Latin, "Sign of Faith") and the motto
of the De La Salle family ("Indivisa Manent", in Latin,
"Let us all be united").
The Lasallian star recalls the legend saying that a star fell
from the sky to mark the place where an abbey dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin (here, Our Lady of the Star) should be built. It
also symbolizes the Lasallian teachings guiding the youth.
Another Lasallian
website recalls the history and heraldry of the De La Salle
family as follows:
"The house of De La Salle was first established in Urgel, an
area of Catalonia, Spain, where the form of the family name was
"Salla." The head of the family, Johan Salla, Warrior
in Chief of Atphonus the Chaste, King of Oviedo, expelled the
Moors from Urgel and reestablished the Episcopal See in 818. The
broken legs he sustained during combat as he fought side by side
with his king are the origin of the broken chevrons on the De La
Salle's coat of arms.
In the 13th century, the family migrated to the Basque County in
the south of France, and though their name became French, they
retained "Salla!" as their battle cry. The ancient
motto of the family is "Que sien toustem ligato
amasse," which in Gascon language means "Let us all be
united!" or "Let us all stick together!" The Reims
branch of the family translated this motto into the Latin
"Indivisa Manent," which is the present wording of the
motto on the coat of arms."

Blue symbolizes the spiritual values while yellow symbolizes the material
values. The colors were selected for their harmonic contrast. The whole design

The five dissimilar points of the star represent the institutes' philosophy and
objectives.
