Youll always remember Wherever you may
be, The school of your boyhood, The school by
the sea. And youll always remember, The
friendships fine free, That you made at
S.Thomas The school by the sea.

- The Rev. Canon Roy. H.B. Yin (5th Chaplain)

"You belong to one of the best schools in the
world, a school with splendid traditions and the
most honourable name and I charge you to try and
hand down those traditions and that name
untarnished and unimpaired.

Be proud of being Thomians and make the college
proud of numbering you amongst its sons.
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.
- The Rev. W.A. Buck (7th Warden)

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.
- Dr. David A. Ponniah (16th Warden)

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 Rev. Canon R.S. de Saram (10th Warden)

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.
- Mr. W.M.N. de Alwis (15th Warden)

Live for S. Thomas. Do anything for her
whenever you are asked to do it
If necessary die for her.
- The Rev. W.A. Stone (8th Warden)

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 its possible, and to
render your maximum support to the Warden, for
its future developments.
Esto Perpetua !
