"Beta Theta Pi is prospering, and I rejoice. I hope
they may ever keep the standard high and press on
with a calm, silent, and unconquerable energy.
Based upon no unjust principle; formed for noble
purposes; all that is necessary to secure complete
success is an unflinching determination to pursue
steadily the track in which we started."
- DavID LInTon To John ReILy Knox, JanuaRy 1, 1840
