| 説明 | Is now visible from the Woodstock Road, in the "Old Radcliffe Hospital" site...Templeton College was founded when the late Sir John Templeton gave an endowment to the Oxford Centre for Management Studies to raise professional standards in British management. The endowment was one of the largest endowments ever made to a British educational establishment, and the Centre was renamed Templeton College in his memory.The college emphasised a commitment to lifelong individual development and aimed to bring together leaders from various fields to explore key issues in management and related policy areas.It was based previously at Egrove Park, nearby Kennington village. Its buildings were opened in 1969 and were granted listed status in 1999.Coat of arms...Green Templeton College's armorial bearings combine elements from both Green and Templeton's original coats of arms, capturing the spirit of each college's history and character. Wikipedia...Its shield comprises two primary symbols: the rod of Aesculapius and the Nautilus shell. The rod of Aesculapius was the principal charge of Green College's coat of arms. In Greek mythology, Aesculapius, the son of Apollo, was a medical practitioner. The serpent coiled around his staff symbolises the healing arts. The Nautilus shell was chosen by Sir John Templeton, as symbolising evolution and renewal, and was adopted by Templeton College in 1984.Green Templeton College's crest depicts an heraldic representation of the Sun behind the astronomical device for Venus (♀), acknowledging the historic transit of Venus across the Sun in 1761, which astronomical event prompted the foundation of the Radcliffe Observatory. The crest is emblazoned:(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. |
