![[Flag of St. Johns College]](../images/g/gb-ou-joh.jpg)
image located by Jan Mertens, 13 August 2008The flag of St John's College of Oxford University (GB) can be seen in a
photo made 11 Jan 2006
by Stuart Yeates. The official site, showing the arms is at
http://www.sjc.ox.ac.uk. A quote from 'College Life
/ History' section: "St
John's was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas White, a wealthy London merchant."
An old rendering of the flag can be seen at

and a large modern one can be found at
http://info.sjc.ox.ac.uk/graves/sjcbooks.html.
The blazon, from the
University Calendar 2003-4 is "Gules, on a bordure sable
eight estoiles or; on a canton ermine a lion rampant of the second; on the
fess point on annulet of the third." (An annulet is the cadency mark for a
fifth son, I believe.)
