Students bring University crest to life
Wednesday 07 November 2012
Over 1,000 students at the University of St Andrews gathered in St Salvator’s Quadrangle today (Wednesday November 7, 2012) to bring the University’s coat of arms to life by organising themselves into an extraordinary, mass formation of the iconic crest.
The formation is the largest-scale St Andrews crest ever seen, and has been recorded with an aerial photograph taken from the top of the Chapel Tower. The spectacle was organised as part of the University of St Andrews’ 600th Anniversary celebrations.
The world’s first human St Andrews crest is the brain-child of the Chinese Hongpao (red gown) Student Society, led by Chang SHI (Wayne), working in collaboration with the student-led Your600th campaign.
