Since its foundation in 1875, Kobe College continues to provide a well-balanced education for women based on Christian principles. This is expressed in the school badge and color designed in 1885 by E.M. Brown, the third college president. The motif of the school badge is the honewort which expresses the harmony of "body," "spirit," and "soul." The school color is dark blue which expresses "peace" and "truth."
