The Auburn Creed

Auburn Creed

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn.  

Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.  

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.  

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.  

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.  

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and natural helpfulness and brings happiness for all.  

I believe in my Country because it is a land of freedom and because it is is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with my God".  

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
