Colegio Bethlemitas is located in Medellin.
It was founded on 10 February 1947, as Colegio del Sagrade
Corazo'n de Jesu's (School of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), and
renamed Colegio Bethlemitas in 1972. The flag has a white field
with two red triangles placed in upper hoist and lower fly,
respectively, and the shield of the school placed in the middle
of the flag. Red stands for the Sacred Heart, symbol of love, and
dynamism and creativity. White stands for peace, purity and
candor.
The shield is tierced per bend. Its upper part, in chief, is
yellow with the red Sacred-Heart crowned with spines.
Yellow symbolizes the sun, the fire, nobleness and charity. Its
lower part, in point, is blue with a yellow lamp, which
symbolizes the scientific thought. Blue symbolizes justice,
gentleness, innocence and devotion. The bend bears the Latin
motto Virtus et Sapientia (Virtue and Wisdom), in blue capital
letters. Bethlemitas and Medellin are written above and below the
shield respectively, in blue capital letters. The whole is

"Universidad Pontificiana Bolivariana" (UPB) is a
Roman Catholic institute, recognized "ab homine" by the
Archbishop of Medellín Tiberio de J. Salazar y Herrera on 15
September 1936, and subsequently recognized by the Government of
Colombia on 22 February 1937 (Decree No. 48). The university was
upgraded to a "Pontificia" by the Holy Congregation of
Seminaries and Universities on 16 August 1945. UPB has its main
seat in Medellín and secondary seats in Bucaramanga, Montería
and Palmira.
The flag of UPB, as shown graphically and described on the UPB
website, is horizontally divided red-black with the emblem of
UPB in the middle.
Red represents charity while black represents science and
modesty. The flagstaff shall have a flame-shaped finial, with the
same meaning as the shield.
The flag shall be used in all the official and academic events.
The shield of UPB, designed by Enrique Cerezao, is made of a
black shield with a yellow border, charged with the Greek capital
letters "Alpha" and "Omega", a flame, the
letters "UPB", all in yellow, placed on a red and
yellow "Cross of the Knights of
Portugal", indeed a Cross of Christ.
"Alpha" and "Omega", as the first and last
letters of the Greek alphabet, represent God as the beginning and
the end of anything. The flame is the Christian symbol of
science. Yellow represents faith, purity and constancy. The
meaning of red and black is the same as on the flag.
"Manual
de Imagen Corporativa UPB", released in 2005, gives a
very detailed construction sheet of the shield (p. 26) and
recommends the following shades (pp. 21 and 59):
Red: CMYK 0 100 100 0 - RGB 255 0 0 - Pantone 1795c
Gold: CMYK 0 20 100 0 - RGB 255 204 0 - Pantone 116c
Black: CMYK 0 0 0 100 - RGB 0 0 0 - Pantone Process black.

Translated from Universidad del Bosque (Bogota)
website at <www.unbosque.edu.co>:
"Using several schemas used for sumarizing a few of the
program ideas, the flag was designed. A rectangle which two
oblique lines divide in three triangles: the upper and the lower
are rectangle (triangles) and in the middle another triangles
that is openning till it reache the bass and continues to the
infinity meaning the raising complexity of our studies, the
progressive increment of our knowledge that never ends. The
upper in orange color, the color of medicine, the lower in green
color symbol of hope, and the central white, sign of clean and
purity and in it the symbol".

"Escuela Colombiana de Medicina" was recognized by
the Ministry of National Education on 4 August 1978 (Decree No.
11153) on the grounds of "Clínica El Bosque".
The institute was upgraded to a university by the Ministry of
National Education on 5 February 1997 (Decree No. 327).
The symbol of the university, shown on the right part of the
flag, was adopted in 1982. It is based on a Muisca artefact kept
in the Gold Museum of the National Bank as item No. 1990. Found
in Soacha and 15- cm high, the item represents a mace and two
snakes, probably belonging to a lord or a shaman. The artefact is
shown in the book by Antonio Grass, "Diseño precolombino
colombiano" (Bogotá, 1972).
