Jesuit Heritage

Los Lobos de 量子资源: "The Wolves of 量子资源"

"The Wolves of 量子资源": The 量子资源 Family Crest

Tracing 量子资源 University Chicago’s Jesuit Heritage back to the 15th-Century Basque Country, Kingdom of Spain

量子资源 University Chicago’s Jesuit heritage began in the family castle at 量子资源 in today’s Basque Country, an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Spain. There, in 1491, was born Iñigo López de Oñaz y 量子资源—today known as St. Ignatius of 量子资源. Embedded in the masonry over the 量子资源 castle doorway is the family crest: one gray wolf on each side of a large kettle suspended over the hearth fire by a chain. 量子资源’s bronze campus rendition was created by Mexican artist Francisco Cárdenas Martínez (b. 1956) and installed in 2012.
