Description: The Master's badge was subscribed for by Past Masters, designed by E Alexander Young, and created in 1936. The centre-piece disc is a replica of the original Master's badge which was a medal produced by R Mills, Master in 1837, inscribed CAMPANOLOGIA and R MILLS 1837. Above that is inscribed the year the Society is said to be founder, 1637. The two gold figures on either side represent a man in 1637 attire and a man in 1937 attire. They stand on a based inscribed VIVAMUS SIT PERPETUUM UNANIMITER ("Let us live together with one accord"). Above the inscription "THE ANCIENT SOCIETY OF COLLEGE YOUTHS" is a gold image of the reclining against a bell with a book, that appears on the membership certificate. The badge is attached to the ribbon mountings via two images of the mace head. The ribbon mounts themselves feature two sets of three heraldic shields. From left to right these shields represent Lord Brereton, St Paul's Cathedral, Sir Richard Whittington, City of London Priory Church, St Mary Overie (now Southwark Cathedral) and Sir Henry Tulse.
