The Auburn Creed is a unifying set of beliefs and principles common to all Auburn students, faculty, and alumni. The creed embodies the spirit of Auburn and is reflected in every member of the Auburn family.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and hands to work skillfully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.
I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.
I believe in my country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by “doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God.”
And because the Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
~George Petrie (1943)
