The school of your boyhood,
The school by the sea.
And you’ll always remember,
The friendships fine & free,
That you made at S.Thomas’;
The school by the sea.”

Be proud of being Thomians and make the college

Remember that what ever you do and where ever
you go, your life and actions will reflect either
credit or discredit on the College where you were
and to which you owe so much…..

You have learned the best lessons in the world at
STC. I trust not only English and Classics and
Mathematics but true manliness and truth,
courage purity and all those things that make a
man and a gentleman. Try never to forget them
but be men and gentlemen always.

‘We pride ourselves in a College whose
education is not merely confined to the
classroom, but much more broadly in our
religion. Our sport and our discipline. We are
truly a plural society. It has been more than an
education. ‘It is a preparation for life’.

“We have something in this school which is
good and precious. Guard it well, keep it bright.
Never do anything that will bring shame to
S. Thomas’.”

The THOMIAN SPIRIT will never die. It is the Spirit of
Unity, Brotherhood, Fellowship, Love, Loyalty to the
Truth, Purity and all those things which make Men &
Gentlemen. It is that Spirit that keeps the College alive.
And the Thomian Traditions may be remembered by as of
us who dare to call ourselves Thomians. We must
preserve that peculiar quality that makes us unique.

Rev. M Bilimoria (In the epilogue of '75 Years at Mount')
“The real end of all education is not to
sharpen the intellect or improve the mind
alone, but to form the character of the
future man to mould his habits, to fix his
principles, to make him good as well wise.”
- Rt. Rev James Chapman ( Founder of the College )

“S. Thomas’ College is therefore much more
than just a school. It is an institution rich in
tradition, characterized by nearly one and a half
centuries of hard work, dedication and
achievement, all imbibed with the legendary
Thomian Spirit…...

...A pioneering institution which has understood
and nurtured the very best in youth; where mere
boys went in and great men came out to be ‘men and gentlemen always’ men who beat the
odds with the legendary ‘Thomian grit’ and
gentlemen who up held the motto of the school.”

“ The Interest of the College must give way to
all other interest. When you help the College,
please do not expect anything in return. We
all owe the College something. The College
does not owe anything to us.
May we contribute together to its glory.”

“Live for S. Thomas’. Do anything for her
whenever you are asked to do it;
If necessary die for her.”

This presentation was compiled to strengthen the
brotherhood, among the young & old Thomians,
who are scattered in different parts on Earth.
The Truth, Purity and the vast knowledge of life,
obtained from this great institution is
undoubtedly impossible to value in monetary
terms.
Sir, I honestly request you to help your loving
school when ever it’s possible, and to render
your maximum support to the Warden, for its
future developments.
Esto Perpetua !
