Gymnasium "I strive to equip my students with a breadth of knowledge that will permit them to stand in the center of the universe and determine what they best can do for the welfare of humanity," "There comes to me and my fellow institutions from every hamlet and city in the United States this call, "Send to us citizens of the Republic!" My Mission THERE comes to me and my fellow institutions from every hamlet and city in the United States this call, "Send to us citizens of the Republic!" In answer I strive to equip my students with a breadth of knowledge in the physical sciences, in the social sciences, and in the arts that will permit them to stand in the center of the universe and to determine what they best can do for the welfare of human-ity. I train them to think by having them deduce from facts truths beneficial to their fellows. I instill in them high standards and ideals of ethical character. With a liberal body of knowledge, the ability to think purposefully, and the possession of high ethical principles they become the embodiment of good citizenship. They are tolerant, self-reliant, courageous, and independent thinkers. They are strong leaders and intelligent followers. They habitually maintain themselves in good health, in a serviceable vocation, and in choice home relations. They study the problems of life and assume responsibility for faithful citizenship. They participate in the body politic and help to create a righteous public opinion. They make sacrifices to hold public offices. They struggle for national well-being by obeying the Constitution and assisting others to obey it. They expose and fight corruption. They see that there is equal economic opportunity and also equal educational opportunity. They struggle for national and international good will. They are vital citizens of our Republic.
