Every Junior Member has a duty to cherish and respect the distinguished academic heritage that St. Stephen’s College is. Generations before us have done their best in enriching the College. We have inherited the fruits of their disciplined labour. We, in our times, must enliven the College to the best of our gifts and talents.

The hallmark of a Stephanian is the instinctive love and respect she/he has for the College. Love expresses itself through a spirit of service. We are here to serve the College even as we study under her auspices. May the College be enriched through each one of us.
