You Are Educated To Engage, Transform, Build, Operate And Transfer

Education consists not only in the sum of what a man or woman knows, or the skill with which he or she can put this to his or her own advantage. A man or woman's education must be measured in terms of the soundness of his or her judgment of people, situations and of things, and in his or her power to understand and appreciate the needs of his or her fellowmen and women, and to be of service to them.

The truly educated man or woman should be so sensitive to the conditions around him or her that he or she makes it his or her prime endeavor to improve those conditions for the broader good of society.

A higher institution of learning does not exist in a vacuum or in outer-space. It exists in the context of a society, and it is there that it has it's proper place. We must be minded of it's purpose and focus. It's strategic positioning logically implies that all these institutions must be supported by society.
