The Perdeby (article featured above) reported that the coat of arms for Agriculture was designed by Gerrie de Jongh. It symbolized an animal, plant and science with the words “Agricultura” at the top of the coat of arms and was worn on a dark blue blazer. Only third year students and Alumni of the Faculty were allowed to  wear the blazer.
