Club Creed
We believe in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; that man can only rise by the efforts that he puts forth for the betterment of humanity; that each is his brother's keeper and should strive to know and to love one another even as our Heavenly Father hath loved us.
Club Women's Creed
Keep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, and in deed.
​
Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking.
​
May we put away pretense and meet each other face-to-face, without self-pity and without prejudice.
​
May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
​
Let us take time for all things; make us to grow calm, serene, and gentle.
​
Teach us to put into action our better impulses - straight forward and unafraid.
​
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things of life we are one;
​
And may we strive to touch and know that great common woman's heart of all; and, O Lord, let us not forget to be kind.
Mary Stuart
