Federico Ozanam, Colegio


image by Ivan Sache, 14 August 2002

The College was founded in 1946 as Escuela (School) Federico Ozanam. I have not been able to find out where it is located, however. Frédéric Ozanam (Milano, 1813 - Marseilles, 1853) was a French historian and writer. In 1833, he founded the St. Vincent-de-Paul Society. He rejoined the French Republic in 1848 and founded with Lacordaire the Christian-Democrat newspaper L'Ere Nouvelle (The New Era, 1848-1849).
The flag of the College is described but not shown as horizontally divided yellow-blue (amarillo-azul). Therefore I have used default 2:3 proportion in my image.

Felipe Pérez, Instituto Nacional de Educación Media Diversificada

"Instituto Nacional de Educación Media Diversificada 'Felipe Pérez'" (INEM) was founded in February 1972 in Pereira, Department of Risaralda.
The institute is named after the politican, lawmaker, writer and journalist Felipe Pérez (1830-1891), successively appointed Governor of Zipaquirá and Cundinamarca, Senator of the Republic, President of the Congress, General, Chief of Staff of the Army etc...
The flag of INEM, according to a photo and the description available on the website of the institute, is white with the emblem of INEM in the middle. The flag was designed by the Department of Physical Education in 1975 for the first Interinstitute Games.
The emblem of INEM is a white triangle outlined in black-yellow-green, charged with the red letters "INEM" surmonted with a yellow device. "FELIPE PEREZ" is written in white letters on a blue scroll placed under the emblem, under which a second, yellow scroll bears "PEREIRA" in black letters. The whole is inscribed in a red ring with white writing, probably the full name of the institute.

"Colegio Fervan" was founded in 1982 in Bogotá, as "Instituto de Educación Preescolar La Abeja Maya". In 1992, the Secretary of Education of Bogotá recognized (Decree No. 1280) the new name of "Colegio Fervan", designed after the name of the founder, Lety Fernández Vanegas.
The flag of the college can be seen on photos taken during the Communication Day 2007.
As described on the website of the institute, the flag is horizontally divided white-green with the emblem of the institute in the middle. The two equal horizontal stripes are a symbol of balance. White is a symbol of perfection, purity and peace. Dark green represents life, respect for the natural environment, hope and tranquillity.
The emblem of the institute is inscribed in a ring, symbol of perfection, of red colour, symbol of force and vitality, charged with the name and motto of the college ("Educacion para el futuro", in Spanish, "Education for the future") in golden letters, symbol of wealth. The center of the emblem is made of an open book, symbol of culture and knowledge, charged with the green letters "C" (for "Collegio"), "F" (for Fernández) and "V" (for Vanegas).

Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander - 5:9 (apparently) flag, horizontally divided white-black-orange-light green (12:1:1:1). The name of the University, in black, is placed in the white stripe, above the logo of the University.
Flag shown on <www.ufps.edu.co>, located by Dov Gutterman, which says (in Spanish): 'There is obviously an historical gap: we don't know according to which process the flag which currently flies in the Benefactors' Park was adopted as the official flag of the University.'
Ivan Sache, 9 June 2001

"Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander" was founded on 5 July 1962 and recognized by the Government of the Department of Norte de Santander on 13 May 1970 (Decree No. 323).

Fray Rafael de La Serna, Colegio Franciscano


image by Ivan Sache, 5 January 2009

The flag of the Franciscan College Fray Rafael de la Serna is horizontally divided yellow-green. From the flying flag shown on <www.frayrafael.edu.co>, located by Dov Gutterman, the default proportion of the flag seems to be 1:2.
The college was founded in 1941 in Medellin, Antioquia and its first name was Instituto Cristobal Colon. By ministerial order #1610 from 6 June 1953, the college was renamed as a tribute to the Franciscan friar who founded the University of Antioquia. YYellow symbolizes the spiritual resources, spirit and the department of Antioquia. Green symbolizes the hope in the youth and the exuberant vegetation of Antioquia. It is said that the dimensions of the flag are precise, but not what they are indeed.
