"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 mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. I believe in
my country, because it is a land of freedom and because it 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."
by George Petrie, Auburn professor and first coach of Auburn’s Football team
