During Middle Age, especially in the age of cavalry, the coats of arms were used\u00a0to represent families, dynasties, lands and fiefdoms, either in war and peace. Later,\u00a0the lands, palaces and family objects came to bear the crests of their lords as a\u00a0symbol of power, aristocracy or as a simple emblem, symbol of identity. Through\u00a0this last function, the crest started to distinguish religious orders, bishopric, cities\u00a0and institutions such as Universities.<\/p>\n
The emblem of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo has an agonist motto: \u201cSCIENTIA\u00a0VINCES\u201d, established in a period of post-military defeat of S\u00e3o Paulo State, when\u00a0USP was created as an instrument to train elites able to, one day, develop and\u00a0govern the country. Our School motto, established in a post-dictatorship period, is\u00a0a more constructive motto: \u201cSCIENTIA TERMINUM AMOVERE\u201d.<\/p>\n
Our crest has in the chest of an eager the word UNIVERSITY, which is the\u00a0translation of \u201cUNIVERSITAS\u201d that means, totality or universality. But totality\u00a0is a vague term. For this reason, \u201cUNIVERSITAS\u201d, since the Middle Age, is an\u00a0inseparable word of another term: \u201cSTUDIORUM\u201d, which has several meanings:\u00a0In fact, \u201cstudies\u201d might be understood as fields, specialties or areas of knowledge,\u00a0such as the legal or math studies; it might be understood as \u201cstudies\u201d or \u201cstudios\u201d,\u00a0i.e., office or work laboratory, such as the studio of the astronomer or the herbalist\u00a0(in Brazil the word is restricted to some arts: photography studio, movie studio,\u00a0dance studio).<\/p>\n
But \u201cUNIVERSITAS STUDIORUM\u201d is not the universality of the areas\u00a0of knowledge, neither the totality of studios. \u201cSTUDIUM\u201d has also another\u00a0meaning, a more genuine meaning. It means passion, taste, interest, effort, and\u00a0search. \u201cUNIVERSITAS STUDIORUM\u201d therefore, means the totality of interests,\u00a0of knowledge.<\/p>\n
The \u201cpractical knowledge\u201d, the \u201ctechnical knowledge\u201d was learned by the\u00a0contact with the artisans, the masters of works, arts and crafts. It was learned to\u00a0do by doing and watching, regardless of any theoretical, doctrinal background.\u00a0The interests in the intellectual knowledge, the interests in understanding were\u00a0congregated in \u201cUNIVERSITAS STUDIORUM.\u201d It was common to discuss,\u00a0create explanations, theories, doctrines, \u201cdoctrinae\u201d under the guidance of\u00a0knowledge.<\/p>\n
To symbolize the broadening of limitless horizons, the sublime vision and the\u00a0freedom of directions, nothing better than an eagle in full flight. The eagle holds,\u00a0with its claws, the sword of courage, also a symbol of S\u00e3o Paulo, expressing its\u00a0affiliation with the University of S\u00e3o Paulo, and the Asclepius, a snake-entwined\u00a0staff, a secular symbol of the medical art.<\/p>\n
But the motto of the crest of this School has transcendent meaning: \u201cSCIENTIA\u00a0TERMINUM AMOVERE\u201d, which means to extend the limits through the\u00a0knowledge. It is a clear profession of faith in the knowledge as an instrument to\u00a0set the man free from his limitations and to expand the possibilities of happiness\u00a0on the Earth. But the Latin sentence strictly allows another reading of the medical\u00a0meaning: \u201cThrough Science keep the end away\u201d, a profession of faith in the\u00a0triumph of medical science in the fight against death, in the human finitude.<\/p>\n

Flags are important symbols that represent nations, states, cities or institutions. In its 60th anniversary, FMRP-USP decided to implement a\u00a0flag to represent the Institution in important celebrations or institutional\u00a0events.<\/p>\n
In the proposal it was decided to include the traditional crest of the Facility\u00a0just as in all other secular universities. On this crest the eagle expresses\u00a0strength, nimbleness, grace, ability to fly and keen eyesight. The sword\u00a0refers to the crest of S\u00e3o Paulo state and expresses our affiliation with\u00a0the University of S\u00e3o Paulo; the Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff, is\u00a0considered a symbol of medicine. The crest has also the motto \u201cSCIENTIA\u00a0TERMINUM AMOVERE\u201d which means to extend limits and boundaries\u00a0based on knowledge. It is a manifestation of belief in knowledge as a tool\u00a0to reduce human limitations and also in the triumph of medical science in\u00a0the fight against diseases.<\/p>\n
The commemorative flag, as well as the flags of Brazil and S\u00e3o Paulo state\u00a0are hoisted in front of the Central Building of FMRP-USP in mourning or\u00a0celebrations.<\/p>\n
