| Education Is Our | Most Important Asset

Over the years it has become increasingly evident that the most import- ant asset of any nation... any province... any individual ... .is ' education... for without education there is no progress... no tol- erance . .. no understanding amongst individuals and amongst nations. Guard this heritage . . . protect this heritage . . . for the future pro- gress and development of mankind . . . indeed, the very life of man- kind . . . depends toa very large extent on education. At Prince of Wales College, founded in 1834, we accept the challenge of education . . . and shall do all in our power to so move into the future with imaginative and vigorous ideas and hopes, that the great asset of education will be realized for all who pass through the doors of this institution.
