RTI photo of the Clare College seal matrix, inverted, and flipped to show text correctly as in the wax impression. Eleven key elements are highlighted for explanation, with text in the next image.
Text explaining the 11 elements highlighted in the image. . canopy, pinnacles, tracery and ogee arches . The Virgin Mary, protector of the College. She is shown with a crown, and a palm signifying eternal life, holding the Child Jesus. . St John the Baptist, identified by unkempt hair, beard, camel-hair garment, and carrying an oval wax Agnus Dei with image of lamb and cross. Clare College was in the parish of St John Zachary (the Baptist, son of Zachary). . St John the Evangelist: young, beardless, with emblematic eagle poised to speak into his ear. John too carries a palm, evoking stories from the end of the Virgin’s life on earth. He was her closest supporter, associated with loyalty and duty as well as learning. St John’s Hospital, dedicated to the evangelist, was an important institution in Cambridge, which had been hard hit by plague. . The Lady of Clare dominates the composition, with a strikingly confident stance, a fashionable Gothic sway, and a direct gaze which seems, like the statutes, to command ‘remembrance of our deed’. . In her right hand, the charter of foundation, with its large pendent seal, the double-sided Great Seal of her cousin King Edward III. . In her left hand, the book of statutes. . The Master, Nicholas de Brunne, surrounded by the Fellows & Scholars: bearded older men and beardless youths. . Arms of Elizabeth’s royal ancestors, & her final arms, adopted by the College.
One day later, 27th March 1359, the statutes were ratified with seals of the Master & Fellows of #ClareCollege & the Chancellor of #CambridgeUniversity. The college seal commemorates the occasion, showing the statutes, which in turn mention the Master, Fellows […]

When Lady Clare spoke in 1359 of the lessons of experience, she drew on memories of prestige & persecution, prosperity & famine, peace & war. Her widely varied experience had convinced her of the value & joys of learning, and that this was ‘best acquired in a recognised university community’. In a land ravaged by plague & riven by political strife, she had come to the rescue of a Cambridge university college. In her introduction to the statutes for its governance, she acknowledged the country’s need to make the most of its remaining human talent, and to develop qualified personnel for spiritual guidance and competent administration. She provided not just for fellows, but for young students, to be ‘chosen from among the poorest that can be found’. Centuries later, Clare College upholds the spirit of her statutes with a vision of one community of fellows & students, chosen on merit. She wished them all to ‘acquire the precious pearl of learning’, & to take this gift & share it with the world. A glance at the history of Clare College shows that this has been achieved by generations of our alumni. Ensuring that succeeding generations have the same opportunity is the responsibility & great privilege of the Master and Fellows. ... Clare College has adapted, evolved, & grown enormously. It nevertheless maintains an ongoing commitment to the principles laid down by our remarkable patron.
English-language version of the preamble to the statutes of Clare College, an address by Elizabeth de Burgh in 1359.
#ClareCollege is celebrating its 700th anniversary. However it was #OTD 667 years ago, 26th March 1359, that Elizabeth #LadyofClare drew on decades of experience & signed the statutes. Drawing on all her experience, she wrote of education’s value to individuals […]
