The Greensboro College Creed We believe in being rather than seeming; in the devotion to high ideals; in daring to do our duty as we understand it. We believe in having an attentive eye, a listening ear. a busy brain, in keeping the mind clear and bright, filling it with wholesome thoughts of life; in losing ourselves in useful industry. We believe in being worthy at all times; in having grim energy and resolute cour- age for the conquest of fear; in gaining confidence in our own ability. We belies e in service, in doing kind deeds, thinking good thoughts, in being strung, gentle, pure and good, steady, loyal and enduring. We believe in reverence for the truth; humility; in great aspirations and high ambitions ; in toiling ever upward. We believe in cultivating the bright virtue of patriotism and the holy passion for friendship. We believe in studying hard, thinking quietly, speaking gently; acting frankly; in listening to the winds, the trees, the stars, and the birds, to babes and sages with open hearts; we believe in being glad, in loving all, in hating none, in doing all bravely, bearing all cheerfully, awaiting occasions, hurrying never. We believe in striving to gain sound knowledge, not content simply to know, but determined to use knowledge for the highest purpose. We believe in man and woman, in (iod ' s unending love, and in the future.
