"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." (John 17:3) "Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God." (Prov. 2:3-5)

Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, that the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life, John 17:3, and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only gives wisdom, let every one seriously set himself, by prayer in secret, to seek it of him, Prov. 2:3. (From Rules And Precepts designed to govern Harvard University, Sept. 26, 1642)

It is very sad indeed that in our schools and universities today things have drastically changed for the worse.
