<P> LU Wolf is the mascot for the University . He was inspired by the coat - of - arms of St. Ignatius of Loyola , from whom Loyola derives its name , which depicts two wolves standing over a kettle . Taken from the heraldic crest carved in the lintel on St. Ignatius ' family home in Azpeitia , Spain , the wolves and cauldron refer to the prosperity and generosity of the Loyola family , who , after feeding family , retainers and soldiers , had enough food to feed even the wild animals . </P>
