St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli (SJC) is a Jesuit-founded college in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India.
Coat of arms
“The college blazon is not the heirloom of an ancient and noble family handed down with pride of name and glorious memories of the past. It is only distinctive badge expressing its aim and ideal. It bears azure, with the Trichinipoly rock and the college church for distinctive features. The conspicuous palm tree in the middle is the emblem of the east. It bears in fesses a bow and above it, is the monogram of the Society of Jesus. Its crest is a royal crown and a Lilly issuant, both in the honour of the college patron, St. Joseph, the crown signify that he was of David’s royal blood and the lily to signify his spotless purity. Thus the whole in ordinary language would read: the college of St. Joseph is conducted by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, at Trichinipoly in the east. The motto “PRO BONO ET VERO” (For the Good and the True) indicates the idea which the teachers and the taught should ever keep before their eyes as the goal of their efforts in the field of education namely moral and intellectual formation.[1]
