College Crest







There are few other matters which may be mentioned in relation to the Woodward regime. One is the introduction of college colors, Black and Gold, which was his choice. Woodward change the College motto “Nihil estamabilius virtute” (Nothing is more loveable then virtue) , given by Dr. Daly and adopted the pali Words “khippam vayama, Panditho Bahava” ,(strive earnestly and be wise).

The present crest of the College which was adopted by him from theosphic symbolism is explained by Woodward thus :
“You know that in astrology, Saturn signifies the concrete mind or knowledge of things intellect. Venus signifies the abstract or higher Manas” but each point of star is perfection.

This is manifestation of a Universe-Sprit and matters are eternal-but when they join, as when the positive and negative currents of electricity (Which always exist-but not exist) show a spark when joined. This universe is a spark, the resistance of matter to sprit. The friction causes a spark-some of matter, passes into sprit which is higher-why we cannot know. We only know by tradition and analogy and modern research that there is perfected action and re-action and the contact of force [A] and matter is in the exoteric books is called God’s or Brahma’s voice , which creates the universe .
(out of Akasa which is the finest film of matter) “you cannot think beyond Akasa without losing consciousness…” The crest is the symbol of perfected action.
