The University of Guanajuato now serves over 30,000 students in several campuses across the state. But the original campus here in Guanajuato started as a Jesuit school. According to our guide, the intention was to create a school that would be a hive of learning, which is reflected in the architecture and the bumblebees on the seal. The latin inscription means: the truth will set you free. There is an irreverant ditty in there somewhere. Perhaps I will figure it out before the Pope visits here in March 2012.
