Source: Ideals of College, Swarthmore (25 October 1913).You are not here merely to prepare to make a living.
You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.
