It is a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, Where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see, Where seekers and learners alike banded together in the search of knowledge, Will honor thought in all its finer ways, Will welcome thinkers in distress or in exile, Will uphold ever the dignity of thought and learning And will exact standards in these things. . . There are few earthly things more splendid than a college. In these days of broken frontiers and collapsing values, When the dams are down and the floods are making misery, When every future looks somewhat grim, And every ancient foothold has become something of a quagmire, Wherever a college stands, it stands and shines Wherever it exists, the free minds of men, urged on to full and fair enquiry, May still bring wisdom into human affairs. There are few things more enduring than a college. Religions may split into sect or heresy, Dynasties may perish or be supplanted, But for century after century the college will continue, ,And the stream of life will pass through it, And the thinker and seeker will be bound together In the undying cause of bringing thought into the world. - - IohnMasefie1d 3
