Our Creed
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds
from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose
self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the
poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his
obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is
himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who
does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his
own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but
always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word;
who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his
own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor
is sacred and virtue safe.
-John Walter Wayland
