Olympic Charter 1933 - International Olympic Committee

Schools, the Colleges and the Officials realise the importance
of physical education and more appreciative of the
part that Sport may play in the organization of the world
at large.
The future anyhow is not free of danger ;. success is often
the forerunner of misfortune. It fosters jealousy and in many
cases leads to temptation, which it is not easy to resist,
but, as long as the International Olympic Committee devotes
its activity to impressing on the mind of the sporting
youth the leading principles of the Committee's eminent
founder, sportsmen will retain the benefit of that wonderful
quality so neatly expressed in the Latin proverb : Mens
sana in corpore sano.
All these who take an interest in Olympic affairs ought
to read the «Memoircs of the Baron Pierre de Coubertin»,
which constitutes the history of Olympism from 1894 to
1925, and subscribe to the Official Bulletin of the I.O.C.
That is the way to keep in touch with all decisions taken
• and everything connected with Olympic Games.
They should be applied for at the Secretariat of the
I.O.C, «Mon Repos», Lausanne, Switzerland.
