The students at our college are exposed to manifold temptations. They will be brought in contact with individuals of almost every stamp of mind and morals. Those who have any religious experience are censurable if they do not place themselves in a position to resist every evil influence. But many choose to follow inclination. They do not consider that they must make or mar their own happiness. It is in their own power to so improve their time and opportunities as to develop a character that will make them happy and useful. {4T 649.2}

De studerende på vort college er udsat for mange fristelser. De vil bringes i kontakt med personer af næsten alle slags sindelag og moral. Dem som har en religiøs erfaring kan dadle, hvis de da ikke sætter sig til at modstå enhver ond indflydelse. Men mange vælger at følge indskydelserne. De tager ikke hensyn til at de må gøre eller ødelægge deres egen lykke. Det er i deres egen magt at udnytte deres tid og anledninger, til at udvikle en karakter, der vil gøre dem lykkelige og nyttige.
