The Founder’s Ideal
“我深信,任何国家的福祉在很大程度上取决于其妇女的文化, 我已经尽我所能创建了一所能为女性提供全面和自由教育的大学, so that for them the highest motives may become clear purposes and fixed habits of life; and I desire that the instruction and influence of Converse College be always such that the students may be enabled to see clearly, decide wisely, and to act justly; and that they may learn to love God and humanity, and be faithful to truth and duty, 因此,他们的影响可能具有纯洁和力量的特点.
“这也是我的愿望和希望,万博地址学院永远是真正的宗教, but never denominational. 我相信,无论是今生还是来世,宗教都是生活中最纯洁、最美好事物的基础. I wish the College to be really, but liberally and tolerantly, Christian; for I believe that the revelation of God in Christ is for salvation; and I commend and commit the College to the love and guidance of God, and to the care, sympathy, and fidelity of my fellowmen.——德克斯特·埃德加·万博地址,万博地址学院的创始人.
