The sword is found in the emblem of Trent University. The rose at its centre is taken from the bookplate of Lady Eaton. The sumac represents the flora found on the drumlin, a major land formation located behind the college. The open book represents education. The wavy line in the chief represents the drumlin. The blue is the main colour of the coat of arms of the McCrea family, Lady Eaton’s birth surname, and the gold is that of the arms of Sir John Eaton, Lady Eaton’s husband.

Two broad swords in saltire points downwards Azure surmounted by a toad statant Or charged with a Tudor rose barbed and seeded proper;

The toad represents the Great Toad Hunt, an annual event at the college started in the mid-1970s to encourage social interaction amongst all members of the college in a non-academic environment. The two swords and the rose repeat the symbolism from the arms.
