NSO 2007 > Life at Penn > Coat of Arms

Adopted in 1933, the Penn coat of arms is a combination of the Penn and Franklin families' arms. It combines the school colors, two books to represent academia, three plates from the Penn arms, and a dolphin from the Franklin arms. The coat of arms also includes the University's motto - Leges Sine Moribus Vanae, or, "laws are meaningless without morals," quoted from Horace's "Third Ode."
