    The Ephebic Oath

    We will ever strive for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. We will unceasingly seek to quicken the sense of public duty.

    We will revere and obey the city's laws. We will transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.
