Marist College must be dedicated to the fulfillment of student needs, to raising expectations, and to committing members with both practical skills and the moral direction with which they might someday, somehow, change the world for the better. Marist students must be believers in themselves, open to others, and above all practical active pursuers to there own good of the College. To these principles, we pledge ourselves, and we establish this Student Government, that it might remind us of the obligations of this college, and of our own duties. May it direct our course, animate our spoken words, give meaning to our fights and battles, and guide us in resolute pursuit of our ends.
