The heraldic banners for the schools of the University combine the colors normally used on the hoods of the various disciplines with symbols illustrating the activities of the histories of the disciplines. The element which appears in all the flags is a triple frond of the redwood tree. By long usage, the Palo Alto redwood tree has been taken as the symbol of the whole University. The hood color for the Stanford Business School is drab or biscuit—not a heraldic color—and is used sparingly on the flag. The design elements are the true knot, illustrating the unifying function of management, and the lion. The lion not only reflects the concern of the school with finance-the red lion representing gold-but also commemorates the first dean of the school, Professor Willard E. Hotchkiss, whose family bore the red lion on its coat of arms.
