<p>Oh, I know. Evergreen’s is priceless!</p>
<p>St. John’s College’s is “I make free men out of children by means of books and a balance.”</p>
<p>Aptly, the question of human freedom in the wake of the newtonian revolution is addressed in the final verse of our school song. The lyric goes, </p>
<p>“The deterministic limits on my freedom are erased
by the transcendental ideality of time and space
so my cells are predetermined but my will’s another case
It’s pure autonomy!” (sung to the melody of The battle hymn of the republic).</p>
<p>Maybe not exactly what our founders had in mind when they penned the school motto.</p>
