The college was founded in 1952. St. Anne�s was originally
called the Society for Home Students. Its 4th Principal Eleanor Plumer, obtained
a large gift from Amy Hartland, and in 1942 renamed it the Society of St. Anne
(the Virgin Mary�s mother by Christian and Islamic tradition). Hartland left her
entire large estate to the College in 1945. Its coat of arms is that of the
Principal�s father, Field Marshal Herbert Viscount Plumer, credited with a major
victory at Ypres and one of the few military leaders, whose reputation after WW1
was enhanced.

The St. Anne's College Boat Club official Facebook profile displays the same shield: https://www.facebook.com/StAnnesBC (Redington is a sponsor of the team).
A flag flown at the boathouse, likely
at the Summer Eights, a four-day regatta of bumps races which constitutes the
University's main intercollegiate rowing event of the year, displays the shield
as a banner of arms, but lacks the sword and wreath.
