(Adopted
by the Board of Trustees January 11, 1989)
The trustees believe
that at significant moments in the life of the College, as
well as in our day-to-day living, we should as an Institution
reiterate for ourselves the standards we deem important for
Smith College. The value we place on individual integrity
and mutual respect sets a standard for personal conduct that
requires each member of this community to look beyond the
mere seeking of knowledge toward a broader commitment to human
understanding and service.
In her last will and testament providing for the establishment
of Smith College, Sophia Smith wrote: "It is my wish
that the institution be so conducted that during all coming
time it shall do the most good to the greatest number. I would
have it a perennial blessing to the country and the world."
In reaffirming Smith College's commitment to civil rights,
the Board of Trustees intends also to carry out Sophia Smith's
mandate to do the most good to the greatest number. By enhancing
the opportunities available to all under the United States
Constitution, through positive steps of our own, we also seek,
as she sought, to have the College a perennial blessing to
the country and the world.
