I was not lucky enough to find a good colour picture. The arms however are shown

Quoting
(gratefully) the blazon from this site
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66655:
“Quarterly per
pale indented or and azure a bend azure and two eagles or with a fret and two
martlets or on the bend.”
Magdelene College was founded 1542 by Thomas,
Lord Audley, Lord Chancellor (hence the arms) who in fact refounded Buckingham
College (established between 1472 and 1483). Not to be confused with Magdalen
College, Oxford.
