loyalty pledge

"If you work for a man,

in heaven's name work for him,

speak well of him and

stand by the institution he

represents.

Remember, an ounce of loyalty

is worth a pound of cleverness.

If you must growl, condemn

And eternaly find fault,

Why? resign your position.

And when you are on the outside,

Damn to your heart's content.

But for as long as you are a part of

this institution,

Do not condemn it.

For if you do, the first high

wind that comes along

Will blow you away, and probably

You will never know why."

By Sir Elbert Kim Hubbard
