"We will
never bring disgrace to this our town, by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we
will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the town, both alone
and with many; we will revere and obey the town's laws and do our
best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to
annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken
the public's sense of civic duty, thus in all these ways we will
transmit this town not only less, but greater and more beautiful
than it was transmitted to us." |
