"What I conclude on behalf of S. Thomas’ is that year in year out, she has sent out into every walk of public life so many men, not necessarily born with the advantage of wealth and influence, not too well endowed with the enviable gift of superior intellect but nevertheless decent men, who marry decent wives and by their own endeavours set up decent homes; men who stand for common sense, integrity, courage and faith in the traditions of liberty and fairplay"
“Live for S.Thomas’. Do anything for her whenever you are asked to do it. If necessary die for her.”
“My only wish this morning is that this school which we all love so much, which is our very precious possession, will go on from strength to strength.”
“When you help the College, please do not expect anything in return. We all owe the College something.The College does not owe anything to us. May we contribute together to its glory,”
