The motto of the College, Cultus et Beneficentia, which loosely translates as cultivating oneself and benefiting the community, and which is echoed by the Chinese motto「修己澤人，儲才濟世」, speaks eloquently of the mission of the College, namely, that the students therein may receive a holistic education, and through the experience of four years of college life, may broaden their outlook and learn to be responsible and committed members of society. The motto is inscribed in both Latin and Chinese on the College Crest, which shows the name of the College in seal script on a shield.
