Meaning:
The College was opened in 1870. Before in 1866 at a meeting at Lambeth Palace it had been decided to erect a college at Oxford in memory of the great churchman and poet John Keble (1792 – 1866), one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement, which developed into Anglo-Catholicism. It argued for the reinstatement of some Catholic and older Christian traditions of faith and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy and theology. The arms of the College are the personal arms of John Keble, namely, argent, a chevron engrailed gules, on a chief azure, three mullets pierced or.
