“ You belong to one of the best schools in the world, a school with splendid traditions & a most honorable name, & I charge you to try & hand down those traditions & that name to those who come after you, untarnished & unimpaired. Be proud of being Thomians, & make the College proud of numbering you among its sons. Remember that whatever you do & wherever you go, your life & your actions will reflect either credit or discredit on the College where you were trained, & to which you owe so much. You have learned the best lessons in the world at S.T.C. I trust, not only English & Classics & Mathematics, but true manliness & truth, courage, purity & all those things that make a man & a gentleman. Try never to forget them, but be men & gentlemen always.”
