The late Mr Besse, the founder of the College, was not himself armigerous. But in his commercial transactions, he made wide use of a trade mark consisting of a five-pointed star.

Besse's activity. | |||
The Tau crosses are the symbol of to the saint whose name the College bears, Saint Antony the Abbot. | |||
