"Colegio de Educación Básica y Media Técnica 'José
Benigno Perilla'", founded in Somondoco (Department of
Boyacá) by María Lidia Puentes González (b. 1939), was
recognized on 10 August 1962 by the Department of Boyacá (Decree
No. 546), as "Escuela Normal Superior Femenina 'José
Benigno Perilla' de Somondoco". The institute is named after
José Benigo Perilla (1831-1893), second Archbishop of Tunja
(1887-1893).
The flag of the institute is shown graphically on the website of the
institute, as horizontally divided white-green with the
emblem of the institute in the middle. White means purity while
green means hope. The written description does not mention the
emblem; moreover, the flag is said to have been officially
approved in 1970 whereas the emblem was designed in 1981.
Therefore I believe that the flag actually used is without the
emblem.
The emblem of the institute was designed in 1981 by student
Abraham Sánchez Sánchez. The shield is divided into four
concave quarters by a red cross. The upper left quarter shows a
white open book on a green field. The upper right quarter shows a
red quill and inkpot on a hwite field. The lower left quarter
shows a red torch on a white field. The lower right quarter shows
a white diploma on a green field. A white escutcheon charged with
a green pair of scales is placed in the middle of the shield. The
shield is topped by a golden mural crown. The green
writing "Colegio de Educación Básica y Media
Técnica José Benigno Perilla Somondoco Boyacá" is placed
on a scroll under the shield. The cross recalls the cultural
heritage and, especially, His Grace José Benigno Perilla; red
symbolizes the sacrifice and constancy expected form the
students. The book is the symbol of science, culture and work.
The quill and inkpot symbolize empowerment, commitment and
creativity. The torch is the symbol of knowledge and eternal
spiritual light. The diploma symbolizes abnegation and great
expectations. White and green are taken from the flag of the
institute. The pair of scales represents commerce. The mural crown
represents integrity, firmness and education expected to form a
fortress. Gold is the symbol of obedience.

Colegio Mayor José Celestino Mutis was established in November 1950 by Dr.
Manuel Antonio Bernal Ramírez (1917-1982) and his wife, Blanca Sánchez de
Bernal.
The institute is named for the botanist José Celestino Mutis
(1732-1808). After graduation at the Royal Surgery College in Cádiz, Mutis was
hired in 1760 as his personal doctor by Pedro Messia de la Zerda, Vice-Roy of
New Granada. A brilliant scholar, he was appointed in 1762 Lecturer in
Mathematics at the Colegio del Rosario (today, the University of Bogotá). From
1766 to 1766, Mutis explored the provinces of Pamplona and Ibagué to established
silver mines; he was appointed in 1777 manager of the El Sapo mine in Ibagué.
Mutis' main interest, however, was in natural history. The request of funding a
scientific expedition submitted to Charles III in 1763 and reiterated next year
remained unanswered. Not discouraged, Mutis had to wait for 20 years: on 29
April, the court initiated the "Royal botanical expedition in the Kingdom of New
Granada", with the support of Vice-Roy Antonio Caballero y Góngora. The royal
approval of the expedition increased the fame of Mutis among botanists; he was
elected member of the Academy of Sciences of Stockholm, corresponding member of
the Royal Garden in Madrid, and member of the Royal Academy of Medicine. The
court acknowledged his records and proposals of use of plants from New Granada
for healing purpose. In an expedition made in 1772 with Pedro Ugarte, Mutis
discovered cinchona trees in Sierra de Tena; he promoted the extraction and
export of quinine, especially in the article "Arcano de la Quina" (The Secrete
of Quinine), published in May 1792 in the Santa Fé de Bogotá gazette.
Mutis' expeditions and research were not aimed at increasing the benefits of
the court but at boosting the cultural and economical development of New
Granada. He was involved in the establishment of the Sociedad Patriótica de
Nuevo Reino de Granada (1801) and the creation of the astronomical observatory
of Santa Fé de Bogotá (1803), in strong opposition with the Spanish courtesans
led by Gómez Ortega. Mutis expected his collections and papers to remain in New
Granada for the sake of progress and education; the political unrest, however,
prompted the shipping of his material to Spain in 1817, where he was shared
between the Royal Botanical Garden and the Royal Academy of History.

Notice the motto "Vbi labor ibi virtus", the same as the ITC (Instituto Técnico Central). The official description of the flag is as follows: "Lleva en
sus colores el símbolo del espíritu MUTISIANO enmarcados por los principios que
inculcamos en el estudiante a través de los años de permanencia en el plantel.
El vino tinto que representa lo purpúreo de la nobleza que caracteriza al
estudiante Mutisiano formado en nuestro claustro."
Translation: "It bears in
its colors the symbol of the MUTISIAN spirit framed by the principles that we
instill in the student through the years of permanence in the campus. The red
wine that represents the purple of the nobility that characterizes the Mutisiano
student trained in our cloister. The pearl gray of steel that represents the
strength and courage that is given to the student of our school to obtain great
achievements in their personal development and that projects them to a promising
future".
Usually, the flag is the same on both sides without the coat of arms. The
allegoric description of the coat of arms is as follows: "En la cumbre de la
ciencia el saber cual lábaro triunfante se destaca, y una luz de esperanza en
cada ser se dibuja en las aulas Mutisianas. Del acero con la fuerza y la
templanza nuestro Mutis tiene un alma dibujada, de un camino que se busca en
lontananza como meta de una senda ya marcada. En tu púrpura encendido hay
nobleza. En tu fondo alabastrino mente limpia. En tu pluma de saberes gran
riqueza, y en tu antorcha el sendero que ilumina. Oh mi escudo MUTISIANO
engrandecido por las gestas del Deporte, sabio anhelo tu figura en lo alto
ennoblecido va marcando paso a paso mi sendero. Ocho letras en un libro
dibujadas en el recuerdo que se esfuma en la distancia y ese ejemplo de dos
almas veneradas dan impulso, valor, fuerza y pujanza."
Translation: At the
peak of science, knowing which triumphant laborer stands out, and a light of
hope in each being is drawn in the Mutisian classrooms. From steel with strength
and temperance our Mutis has a drawn soul, of a path that is sought in the
distance as the goal of a path already marked. In your fiery purple there is
nobility. In your background alabaster clean mind. In your pen of knowledge
great wealth, and in your torch the path that illuminates. Oh my MUTISIAN shield
enlarged by the deeds of Sport, wise I long for your figure on high, ennobled,
is marking my path step by step. Eight letters in a book drawn in the memory
that fades into the distance and that example of two revered souls give impulse,
courage, strength and strength".
