“First: I want you to have the respect of all with whom you come in contact; professors and students. To gain this never deceive nor act an artificial part. Be simply yourself, know your lessons, never resort to any means to make believe you know more that you really do, particularly in the recitation room. I want you to show good standing; but I want entirely in your merits. I am not anxious that you should take first honors, nor fifth, nor any special number, but I am anxious that you should thoroughly understand what you go over.”
― Ulysses S. Grant
