The original crest of the RCI was designed by Sandford Fleming in 1850. On the shield are some surveying instruments (engineering level, compass, theodolite) and drafting squares. Below is a tunnel with an emerging steam engine. These objects symbolize the early association of the Institute with professional surveyors, engineers and architects as well as the general mid-century faith in the applied sciences as determinants of social and economic progress. The words "Canadian Institute, Established 1849" were placed in a circle around the crest. Above the crest, in Fleming's words: "...we find as a crowning feature a female figure typifying science trimming the lamp of life.鈥�
