The Crest of St. Xavier's University¸ Kolkata¸ is modeled on Jassu Crest of the University Patron¸ Saint Francis Xavier's family. It has been adapted to local surroundings¸ suggestive of a native flavour of a University in India. The escutcheon in white and blue contains a tiger and a palm tree¸ overlooked by a silver crescent moon¸ which symbolizes the palacio of Xavier. The charge on the Dexter¸ IHS¸ bespeaks a University of the Society of Jesus (Iesus Hominum Salvator - Jesus¸ Savior of Human Family). The checky argent and sable in the base recall the spirit of the Xaverian family. A garter bearing the words St. Xavier's University¸ Kolkata"¸ encircles the escutcheon and it is surmounted by a Cross emanating holy rays. A scroll passes underneath inscribed with the words Nihil Ultra (Nothing Beyond)¸ the motto of the University. The Crest signifies dignity¸ courage¸ quiet gleam and the call of the beyond - the quest persists towards higher endeavour..
