Women's Christian College Colleges
4 years ago - ANIMATION - Chennai - 563 viewsThe College Motto is “Lighted to Lighten” and hence the appropriateness of the little earthenware Indian lamp. From such a lamp, with its flame of fire constantly renewed by the sacrifice of the oil poured in, its need of shelter from the wind, its flame kindled afresh every evening from a source of light, comes the suggestion of a life, spending itself to transform itself into service, flickering but not failing in the midst of temptation, existing only to give.
The College Flower
The College Flower is the Sunflower, chosen because it always turns its face towards the Sun, suggesting that we should ever turn to the Sun of Righteousness. The Sunflower is chosen also because it is a composite, thus symbolising a group such as a college community; and because it grows readily in all three lands associated with the college, India, the United Kingdom and America. Still further, the Sunflower embodies the College Colours – green representing India’s palms and paddyfields; brown, her sunburnt soil; and gold, the flame of the college lamp.
