ARMS OF BRANDON COLLEGE fCon1inueclJ Crest-A Phoenix sable, armed gules, lssuant from flames of fire ppr. In fblazoning, that is descnibed the field, one mentions first the colour of the shield as a whole, which in this case is Argent, that is, silver, or white. Next one describes the charges, that is the devices or symbols placed upon the shield. The Or-dinaries are certain conventional figures commonly charged upon shields. The Chevron is an Ordinary whose form is explained by its name. Chevron means a bar bent like two meeting rafters, the word being derived from the Latin caper, a goat. The Chevron in our coat of arms is Azure, that is blue. Charged upon the Chevron is an Antique Lamp, the colo-ur being Or, that is gold. The The The The Chief is the upper part of the shield, and the Base is the lower part. Chevron is between in Chief two Open Books, and in Base a Garb. Garb is a wheat-sheaf, from the Old Northern French garbe. two Open Books, and the Garb are all proper, that is, in their proper or natural col- ours, and in any of the conventional tinctures. The Crest -is a Phoenix. This is a mythical bird fabled to be the only one of its kind, and to live five or six hundred years in the Arabian desert, after which it burnt itself to ashes on a funeral pile and emerged from its ashes with renewed youth, to live through 'another cycle of yea-rs. The Phoenix is Sable, that is black. The Phoenix is Armed Gules, that is its beak and tongue are Gules, that is red. The Phoenix issues from the Flames of Fire, signifying the old legend. The Flames themselves are Proper, that is in their proper or natural colour. The Motto is-Aletheuontes de en agape- Speaking the truth Cas opposed to errorl in love. The most import-ant aspect of the Coat of Arms of Brandon College is its symbolic meaning. The Antique Lamp represents the Light of Swpiritual Truth. The two Open Books represent the Learning and the Art-s of Mankind. The Garb or Wheatsheaf represents the material blessings which God has g-iven us, in both body and estate. Thus the Coat of Arms represents to us the threefold nature of man, spiritual, mental, and physical, crowned with the 'blessing of renewed youth or everlasting life. As Milton puts it-- The end then of learning is to repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him .... I ca-ll therefore a complete and generous education, that which fits a man to perform justly, skilfully, and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, peace and war.
