DIGNITY .... Martha Morrow Rice This is a quality of reserve which comes with emotional, intellectual, and social maturity. Dignity is always reflected in the recognition of the fitness of things and in the poise and self-confidence with which one places one’s self above that which might be considered unseemly. LOYALTY .... Anna Frances Wilson One of the most important of the Monticello Ideals is a loyalty to the college, one’s friends, one’s family, and one’s beliefs. This deep-seated emotion will grow through understanding, respect, and love.

 FRIENDSHIP .... Dodie Rhoades Many of your most cherished and lasting friendships will be made while you are at Monticello. Your college days will afford rich opportunities for making a wide circle of friends. In true friendship there is dignity, loyalty, service, democracy, beauty, and never-failing consideration. Nancy Lee Cooper Within each girl is the power to recognize and appreciate the beauty of everyday experiences. Life is filled with beauty if one is sensitive to it, and eager to find it; if one’s eyes are trained to see. one’s ears to hear, one’s heart to understand, and one’s mind to remember. i
