Facsimile of crest over the main entrance of University Hospital.
Bio/Historical Note: The University Hospital coat of arms incorporates a couchant lion above and the three wheat sheaves below modified by the inclusion of the coat of arms of Sir William Harvey, the discover of the circulation of the blood. In the centre is a caduceus with two serpents, the symbol of Mercury, the god of commerce and peace which, though often used, as in the crest of the Canadian and American Army Medical Corps, is not the proper symbol of medicine. The staff in the caduceus is replaced by an arm holding a lighted candle symbolizing the search for knowledge and its dissemination.
