THE MOTTO: WISDOM BUILDS (Sapientia Aedificat)
The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom. The University of Saint Louis, as a Catholic educational institution embodies the conviction that wisdom, borne out of genuine reverence and love for God, builds up our persons. (We have an expression “God-fearing person” which means that this person will not do anything to offend God and one’s neighbor, will not do anything against one’s own conscience.) Expressing it in a positive way, a God-fearing person does God’s will, and contributes to the well-being of the whole community. This is Wisdom in the Old Testament – Solomon’s search for the will of God, personified by Jesus of Nazareth, the fulfillment of God’s will and revelation in the context of the Covenant community.
Thus, in today’s terms, “Wisdom Builds” means that the attitude and the actions that express the obedience to God and the love and compassion toward one’s neighbors will contribute to the betterment of one’s self and one’s community. Every Louisian built in wisdom is called to become builder of the Church and Society.
University of Saint Louis commits to work towards providing quality Catholic education to produce responsible and globally competent graduates through compliance with regulatory, statutory, and accreditation requirements and standards, and commitment to continual improvement in all its processes to achieve customer satisfaction.
Let’s all sing a song
Gay and cheerful
Bursting forth from our young
And joyous hearts.
For our life is so bright
For we study right
We choose a smile for our part.
Here we are students of St. Louis
That is why we are so proud
We’ll always stand in defense of it
For it makes us brave and fit
CHORUS:
Training our body and mind
That in this school we find
Bright future smiles on us;
Let’s be ready, thus
We’ll deserve well of our Land
Go ever hand in hand
For God and Country’s sake
this is the PLEDGE we make.
Let’s all sing a song
Gay and cheerful
Bursting forth from our young
And joyous hearts.
For our life is so bright
For we study right
We choose a smile for our part.
Here we are students of St. Louis
That is why we are so proud
We’ll always stand in defense of it
For it makes us brave and fit
