The post WW2 Khaki University was an interesting organization. It was intended to be a step towards civilian life, and was organized to start soldiers on their post military education. As such, the Khaki U de-emphasized military heirarhcy. The students did not wear headdress, webgear, gaiters or boots, but shoes instead. All of this was done to get them out of the military way of life.
In the school, rank would not be recognized and every member of the Khaki University was given a plain battledress and issued the shoulder titles and the House slip-ons. There were five houses for students, named after governor general's of Canada. The five identified by slip-ons to date are Athlone House, Bessborough House, Devonshire House, Tweedsmuir House, and Willingdon House.
Attached are a couple of links to photos from LAC of members at Khaki University. The slip-ons in the photos appear to be Devonshire.

Interesting comment about the rarity of the titles. I have seen several of the shoulder titles over the years, both at shows and on ebay. The slip-ons on the other hand are very scarce. I have seen a couple of Bessborough, but the other ones I had never seen until they were acquired from a Canadian vendor.
Paul, can you give a description of the title for the WW1 Khaki U?
