The Lord never designed that our college should imitate other institutions of learning. The religious element should be the controlling power. If unbelievers choose this influence, it is well; if those who are in darkness choose to come to the light, it is as God would have it. But to relax our vigilance, and let the worldly element take the lead in order to secure students, is contrary to the will of God. The strength of our college is in keeping the religious element in the ascendancy. When teachers or professors shall sacrifice religious principle to please a worldly, amusement-loving class, they should be considered unfaithful to their trust and should be discharged. {5T 14.2}

Herren har aldrig planlagt at vort college skulle efterligne andre undervisnings-institutioner. Det religiøse element skal være den styrende kraft. Hvis vantroende vælger denne indflydelse, er det i orden; hvis dem som er i mørke vælger lyset, er det sådan som Gud vil have det. Men slækker vi på vor vagtsomhed og lader det verdslige element tage ledelsen, for at få studerende, er det imod Guds vilje. Styrken i vort college er, at det religiøse element får lov at herske. Når lærere eller professorer ofrer religiøse principper, for at behage verdslige, fornøjelseselskende grupper, skal de betragtes som upålidelige og bør afskediges.
