To Exalt Beauty
In God
In Nature
And In ArtShowing How to Love the Best
But to Keep the Human Touch
To Advance Learning
In All Lines of Truth Wherever They May Lead
Showing How to Think Rather Than What to Think
Assisting the Powers of the Mind
In Their Self Development
To Forward Ideas and Ideals
In Our Democracy
Inspiring Respect for Others as for Ourselves
Ever Promoting Freedom with Responsibility
To Become A Center of Order and Light
That Knowledge May Lead to Understanding
And Understanding to Wisdom
