José Vasconcelos, as rector in 1920, expressed the importance of ending the oppression and the bloody confrontations of yesteryear, the battlefields would be those of culture and education would be a means to achieve a new era in the country where Mexicans have in mind the need to merge peoples and culture from the spiritual factors, race and territory, reflecting the unification of Latin Americans.
These elements were reflected in the University Seal, represented by the Mexican eagle and the Andean condor, forming a double-headed eagle, supported by an allegory of the volcanoes and a cactus, meaning of the roots of the Mexicans.
In the central part of the shield is the map of Latin America, which goes from the northern border of Mexico to Cape Horn.
Framing this map is the phrase "For my people the spirit shall speak."
In the upper part of the seal there is a ribbon that says "National Autonomous University of Mexico".
