Nuffield College
Full name: The Warden and Fellows of Nuffield College in the
University of Oxford
Coat of Arms:
Ermine, a fess Or charged with three
pears Sable between in chief two roses Gules barbed Vert and seeded Or, and in
base a pair of scales Or.
The college was founded in 1937 after a donation to
the University of Oxford by William Richard Morris, 1st Viscount Nuffield
(1867–1963), the industrialist, philanthropist and founder of Morris Motors,
based in Oxford-Cowley. One of his foundations on request provided any hospital
in the Commonwealth with iron lungs. The college was the first in modern times
to have a defined subject focus, namely the social sciences. The pears on the
golden fess are probably referring to Worcester, the birth place of Lord
Nuffield. The arms were officially granted on 5 May 1958.
