Description of the flag

All Souls College of Oxford University presents itself at http://www.all-souls.ox.ac.uk/:
“The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed (...) was founded by Henry VI and Henry Chichele (fellow of New College and Archbishop of Canterbury), in 1438. Today the College is primarily an academic research institution with particular strengths in the Humanities and Social and Theoretical Sciences and an outstanding library. (...) Although its fellows are involved in teaching and supervision of research, there are no undergraduate members.”

The arms shown on the site are blazoned here: http://www.btinternet.com/~akme/oclalsl2.html:
