The design is based on the arms of Fraser of Lovat, from whom the university’s namesake was descended, via the Frasers of Culbokie. The blue quarters with white “fraises” (i.e., strawberry flowers; the word is a pun on the name Fraser) are the basic Fraser arms, while the white quarters with red crowns are those of Lovat. The cross-crosslets in the chief are taken from the arms of Macdonnell of Glengarry and thus mark Simon Fraser’s descent from this family. The book is a symbol of education. | The design is based on the arms of Fraser of Lovat, from whom the university’s namesake was descended, via the Frasers of Culbokie.
