http://inel.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/wadham-college-oxford-main-entrance.
The college website is at http://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk. Founded in 1610
by Nicholas Wadham (endowment) and his wife Dorothy (realization), whose arms
became those of the College. An old rendering (the College flag is a
banner-of-arms) is at

Blazon, quoted from the
University Calendar 2003-4: Gules, a chevron between three roses argent, seeded or, barbed vert
impaling gules, a bend or between two escallops argent.

These arms appear to be those of Wadham College. If those are oars behind the
arms, that would suggest this pin is from Wadham College Boat Club. I don't see
anything suggesting they use those arms, though, but if not, they might know
more.
