The coat of arms of McGill University is the official emblem of the university and derives from a heraldic device assumed during the lifetime of the university's founder, James McGill.[1] The first iteration was designed in 1906 by Percy Nobbs, then director of the McGill School of Architecture.[2] The design subsequently varied for decades after until the university's current coat of arms, largely resembling the original design, was finally adopted by the Board of Governors in 1975.[3] Today, the university has approved multiple logos across its faculties and departments,[4] including a separate coat of arms used by the Macdonald Campus.[5]
