In All Things Be Men
We mean by a man one who is both strong and kindhearted, humble and unselfish. The crest embodies this ideal of Manhood.
The paddles represent sturdy hard work and bodily strength and health. Their heart shaped blades indicate the gentleness that
tempers brute strength. The lowly calling of the boatmen reminds us to honor all useful work and to be ready to serve even
in the humblest capacity. Finally, the paddles are laid in cross to remind us of Him, our perfect pattern of Manhood, who
spent His life in the service of others and died on the Cross for all mankind.
