“While we are here to widen our views, in fact to improve our minds, let us remember that we have both a body and a soul. It is our duty to care for and to develop both.
The body should be made as perfect as possible because the soul can only grow by using the material which the senses furnish it. But a man has a very low aim in life who lives only to improve and provide for the body.
Let us aim higher than this and strive constantly to attain that aim. Let us fight our own battles, and we will succeed far the better. Let our aim be that highest purpose in life—to care for the spirit; to become more cultured, refined, courteous to others, generous, respectful to self, pure.”
