The crest has a different meaning; both "Life" and "Knowledge" have anciently been symbolised by a tree. With the object of promoting the study of life, the Institute was established in England where the native Elm (''Ulmus procera'' Salisb.) has reached a point of near-extinction because of inadvertent neglect of the principles of conservation and where timber from the species has been used to make coffins. Mortality is a matter of biological concern. | The crest has a different meaning; both "Life" and "Knowledge" have anciently been symbolised by a tree.
