IHS or JHS Christogram of western Christianity. In the Latin-speaking Christianity of medieval Western Europe (and so among Catholics and many Protestants today), the most common Christogram is "IHS" or "IHC", derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, iota-eta-sigma, or ΙΗΣ.
Here, the Greek letter eta was transliterated as the letter H in the Latin-speaking West (Greek eta and Latin-alphabet H had the same visual appearance and shared a common historical origin), while the Greek letter sigma was either transliterated as the Latin letter C (due to the visually similar form of the lunate sigma), or as Latin S (since these letters of the two alphabets wrote the same sound).
Because the Latin-alphabet letters I and J were not systematically distinguished until the 17th century, "JHS" and "JHC" are equivalent to "IHS" and "IHC".
"IHS" is sometimes interpreted as meaning Iesus Hominum Salvator
Jesus, Savior of men,
or connected with
In Hoc Signo
Some uses have even been created for the English language, where "IHS" is interpreted as an abbreviation of
I Have Suffered
In His Service
AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or ad majorem Dei gloriam (when an "i" functions as a consonant in Latin, it is often represented with a "j"), also known by the abbreviation AMDG, is the motto of the Society of Jesus, commonly referred to as the Jesuits.
A.M.D.G. was frequently included in the signatures of the late Pope John Paul II
INQUE HOMINUM SALUTEM
In Georgetown University's Gaston Hall, the phrase is followed by "inque hominum salutem" making the full phrase state "for the greater glory of God and the salvation of humanity."
Most of the painting and plaster working seems to have been done about 1900 by Brother Francis C. Schroem, who died in 1924. Brother Francis also did the extensive painted decoration and the worked plaster in Gaston Hall. Around the lower level of the stage and hall are panels which contain inscriptions. At the rear of the stage are plaques with the names of scholars and scientists, with a painted emblem of the individual's field (microscope, retorts, books, etc.) above, all on a background of foliage. Some of their painted emblems. on canvas glued to the plaster, have fallen off.

On the south wall of the stage are painted plaques containing important dates in the history of the University, the Society of Jesus, in the United States. Around the rest of the hall these panels have names of famous men and, on a painted scroll or plaque, an aphorism.
