Referred the quote By Bro.MARTIN .....LOL ^^
"To this end, the idea of the 'university in a park' has become a prominent concept of the campus wherein thousands of trees are grown, to bring nature back to young men and women so that they will be able to walk and to sit in the great silence of the landscape, with tranquility of mind, contemplating how, in peaceful splendor, the sun rises and sets while radiating warmth that gives life to all things.
"In this environment, the inquisitive and enquiring minds will have their play and their fulfillment. All learners will steadily grow in knowledge and wisdom."
Rev.Bro.Martin P. Komolmas
President Emeritus of Assumption University
below is referring Dormitory where places in BANGNA campus
The residence Hall
The Three Dormitories: Solomon, Sheba & King David
The three 13-story dormitories form a U-shape embracing the basketball grounds and the middle pyramid. The grounds, with rows of seats all round it, is called the King's court. Named after characters in the Old Testament, the salubrious dorms have all modern facilities and an underground car park. The safety measures to protect against fire include smoke detectors, sprinklers, fire escapes and emergency lighting. They are located in a windy area with plenty of sun and fresh air.
They are on the western side of the campus so in the evening, one sees sunset rays suffuse the colorful flags on the Boulevard des Nations, which connects the residence halls to the front of the Cathedral of Learning.
King Solomon
In the Old Testament, King Solomon inherited the kingdom from his father,
King David. He built a temple dedicated to the God of the Israelites, which transformed Jerusalem into an important center during his time. But
King Solomon here is a dormitory for male students. It has 505 rooms with an interior and facilities akin to a standard hotel, designed for quiet rest and study. Each room has a cable TV set, a small refrigerator, a direct line telephone and a pair of connections for computer Internet access. It faces the Queen of Sheba Dormitory.
Queen of Sheba
The Queen of Sheba went to Jerusalem after she heard of Solomon's fame, through the name of the Lord. Their legendary love not only had a deep influence on Jerusalem, but on numerous cultures. The Queen of Sheba dormitory is akin to that of King Solomon in the number of rooms, its exterior and interior, but it is for female students.
There is a nursing room and study room on the second floor. Around both dormitories are outdoor sports grounds. Together, the twin halls stand as a testimony of love and hold young men and women bound for a bright future.
King David
Long before Jesus Christ was born, King David ruled Israel. He was a valiant soldier, a musician and the man who defeated Goliath.
King David is a hotel for visitors with 266 rooms in the same style as the other two dormitories. The back terrace of every room overlooks a wide green field. It is quiet at daytime and in the night. Only at King David are a mini-mart, a laundry shop and an ATM.
An ABAC Dummy Perpetual Fund and a Student Affairs Fund to give financial support for youth activities and needy students in rural areas created the mini-mart or "U-Mate" convenient store. The total surplus generated by the story will be contributed to the Fund.
COAT OF ARMS
Coat of arms is a translation of the French COTTE D' ARMES. Usually it is depicted with the particular heraldic bearings of a person or family on an escutcheon, and from it we can learn much about the person or family which adopted the particular coat of arms.
BROTHERS OF ST.GABRIEL
The name "the Brothers of St.Gabriel" reminds us of those Brothers who sacrificed their lives, and their mother's land, in order to help educate and develop our Thai children to grow in the right path.
"LABOR OMNIA VINCIT" is the motto of our university. "We can overcome all difficulties through working hard," or, as the Latin proverb says : "Work conquers all things,"
"Life-Boat" Symbolized By "The Ship in The Sea"
"The ship in the Sea" symbolizes that we have to keep on struggling and facing different difficulties in the sea of life, just like the ship or the boat that fights stormy wind, steamy sun and rainy sea in order NOT to capsize in the middle of the sea.
This should always remind us that "Life is a Struggle" or "To Live is to Struggle" against the problems and difficulties and not to give up.
"DS" (read "D and S") Cross In The Middle With The Cross
"D" or Divinity represents "Religion". We all need religion in life and mind.
The Cross is the symbol of "love" and sacrifice "just as Jesus sacrificed his life for our love and he redeemed our sins as he said: "There is no other love greater than sacrificing our life for others."
"S" or "Science" means "Knowledge,"
which is the root of man's ability to reason. Everyone should always aim at gaining more knowledge.
the more we learn about mundane knowledge, the more we should also learn about "Dharma" or religious, ethical virtues. Moreover, D|S also comes from the French phrase, "Dieu Seul," which means "ALL WE DO IS FOR THE GRACE OF GOD ONLY." It is to remind us of St. Louis Marie de Montfort, the founding Father of the Brothers of St. Gabriel's motto. With this powerful motto, we have the will to work without yielding to difficulties, at studies as well as at work. We all uphold it up to this day.
A.M. and The White Lilies
"A.M." is abbreviated from a Latin word, "ALMA MATER," meaning literally," Dear Mother," in Latin and indicating " MOTHER COLLEGE," which symbolizes that our institution is like our "Alma Mater", our own birth place and as a part of our own families.
We should love our institution as much as we should love our own parents. Moreover, "A.M" is also abbreviated from "AVE MARIA" (in Latin), the name of Jesus' Mother.
This means that we should love our own Mother with our heart and soul. And the beautiful snow-white lilies are symbols to remind us that we should be clean and sincere with all our thoughts, words and minds, wherever we are.
The Star and The Man In a Boat
"The Star and the Boat" symbolizes "Spiritual Hope", meaning that religion is "the light of Dharma or Absolute Truth" and all the knowledge or sciences we have learned from the institution is "the Light of the Intelligence".
The "Shield" that frames the "Four Symbols" is the "COAT OF ARMS" which stands for "HONOUR," or "PRIDE and DIGNITY". It also represents the HONOUR,DIGNITY, PRIDE AND PRAISE that our institution has received from the King who reigns over the Kingdom.
The Olive Branches
The wreath of the "Olive Branches" stands for "Victory" or "Success."(In ancient times, in Greek History, the athletic winner received a wreath of olive branches from the king) Or, this represents "a wreath of high honour" to remind us that we should do good deeds to uphold the honour and fame of our beloved institution or "ALMA MATER" forever.
