The College adopted its crest and motto in 1942. The five scallop shells on the inverted chevron signify that we are pilgrims and seekers, and that we do not seek alone but in fellowship.

They are also a link with the past, for they figured in the crest of the Wesleys, and the present Meston College has grown out of a school founded by the Wesleyan Mission in 1851.

The main symbols, the Book and the Lamps, remind us that knowledge, like light, when shared with others, illuminates ourselves.

“It is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.”
