St. John’s College | "The Last Don Rag" by Scott Buchanan
“Do you believe in and trust your intellect, that innate power that never sleeps?” “Do you recognize the action of this power as you live and learn?” “Have you, in the course of your life, before, after, or while you were at St. John’s, become your own teacher?” “Have you yet recognized that you are and always have been your own teacher?”
