Why I love my Harvard t-shirt...

I have a Harvard t-shirt that I love -- mostly because it represents a place that, whatever it may be now, began with the following end in mind:

“Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life (John 17:3); and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.  And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of Him.”  

- First Student Handbook, Harvard University

The Harvard Shield says "Veritas," Latin for "Truth."
