INSCRIPTIONS FOR ACADEMIC BUILDING
The President presented the recommendations of the Committee to select inscriptions for
the two tablets above the doors of this building, which Committee was composed of President Darden,
Dr. Newcomb, and Dean Lewis. Their recommendations were as follows
"What a man ought never to forget with regard to a college is that it is a
nursery of principle and of honor."
Woodrow Wilson

"Here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate
any error so long as reason is left free to combat it."
