A stone carving of the 1359 seal, scaled up 20x for visibility, was unveiled at #ClareCollege this year - celebrating the 50th anniversary of the admission of women to a college rescued by a woman more than six centuries ago! A booklet explains the ongoing relevance of her educational vision, and powerful imagery. https://barnes1.net/seal/ 🧵 3/3
