The Hughes owl and the Margaret Wileman building

Painted by Eva Fang

Hughes Hall was initially established as a College for Women graduate students taking the Teacher Training curriculum, and was founded as the Cambridge Training College in 1885. It's first principal was Elizabeth Phillips Hughes after which the College was renamed, when full membership of the University for women was first recognised in 1947, and the College became a recognised institution of the University in 1949. It did not receive a Royal Charter for full College status until 2006. 

The use of the Owl on the College arms dates back to an unofficial design for college arms made by students of the college in the 1890s. Owls of course are famously noted for their association with wisdom, via their link with Athena, the Greek Goddess of Wisdom (and Strategic Warfare!).
