Lincoln College is a Uniting Church in Australia residential college affiliated with the University of Adelaide. It was established by the Methodist Church of Australasia in 1952 and is named after Lincoln College, Oxford at which John Wesley was a fellow.
Lincoln College started as a men's college and admitted women in 1973. Currently, the college has 200 residents, with about 12% international students.
In 1953, a year after the opening of the College, the Council adopted as the College motto one strongly recommended by the Master, the Rev. Frank Hambly. It was Per Litteras ad Fidem (through Learning to Faith).
The College Council invited college members to submit designs for a coat of arms. Several designs were submitted. The chosen design was devised by John Burchmore, later to become President of the College Club and drawn by Nicholas Feodoroff. With some modifications suggested by the College of Arms it was accepted and officially granted by the College.
The design of the coat-of-arms embodies, in heraldic terms, both the origins and the aims of the College. The shield is surmounted by a gold stag, taken from the Arms of Lincoln College, Oxford. It’s quarters comprise:
Lincoln College prides itself on its long history and heritage. Located on Brougham Place in North Adelaide it comprises four state heritage-listed buildings, once the homes of prominent Australian pioneers. The campus also comprises three residential blocks; a chapel and music rooms.
Number 39 Brougham Place (also known as Whitehead) built in 1907 was the home of A. G. Rymill, and also subsequently his son, long serving Adelaide City Councillor, Sir Arthur Campbell Rymill who was Mayor (1950 – 1954). This grand villa of sandstone with a fish scale tiled tower is typical of the grand residence of the Edwardian period. It is representative of the grand residential style of Brougham Terrace. The Whitehead building has been the principal’s residence for the last 30 years.
