Coat
of Arms:
Shield Or, a Rod of Aesculapius Sable with the Serpent Azure, Flanches Vert each
one charged with a Nautilus Shell Or the aperture outwards.
Meaning:
The
coat of arms has three grants behind it. It combines elements of its
predecessors, Green College, founded in 1979 and Templeton College. The latter
was founded as Oxford Centre for Management Studies in 1965, opened in 1969,
renamed into Templeton College in 1983, reminding on its benefactor Sir John
Marks Templeton (1912 – 2008) a banker and philanthropist ((an interesting
combination)). Green College was founded in 1979 by Cecil Howard Green, KBE
(1900 - 2003), an American geophysicist and founder also of Texas Instruments.
Both colleges merged in 2008. The focus of Green had been medicine, represented
by the Rod of Aesculapius. The arms of Templeton were based on the personal arms
of its founder, which displayed three golden Nautilus Shells on a blue field,
together with a demi-horse, holding a Caduceus, the rod of Hermes. They had been
designed by the York Herald in 1989. The arms of the new college also had a
crest, blazoned as follows: “On a Helm with a Wreath Or and Vert, In front of a
Sun in splendour the rays voided Or the Astrological Symbol for Venus Vert.”
This arrangement is referring to the transit of Venus across the sun in 1761.
This astronomical event prompted the foundation of the Radcliffe Observatory,
which is located on the estates of Green College.
