Introduction<br />

Illustration by Mr Philip Liau from the 1960 issue of The Rafflesian<br />

Raffles Institution is the premier<br />

School of Singapore with a long<br />

history, noble traditions and a high<br />

standard of scholarship. It is the<br />

sacred duty of every Rafflesian not<br />

to resort to any word or deed that<br />

will directly or indirectly undermine<br />

the good name of the School.<br />

Cleanliness<br />

Keep your School clean.<br />

Throw all litter into the receptacles<br />

provided.<br />

Be clean in your attire. Cultivate<br />

clean habits of hygiene.<br />

BE VERY CLEAN when using the<br />

toilet. Leave every wash basin or<br />

closet as clean as you would wish<br />

to find it.<br />

Discipline<br />

Speak well and behave well not<br />

only during school hours, but<br />

wherever you happen to be.<br />

Respect the elders and superiors.<br />

Learn to obey before you learn to<br />

rule.<br />

Duty<br />

Time is precious. Don’t waste<br />

it. Work hard and pass your<br />

examinations every term.<br />

Be mentally alert as well as<br />

physically fit. Take part in the extramural<br />

activities of the school and<br />

make sure that your education is<br />

a full one. If you get into trouble<br />

tell your parents and your Form<br />

Teacher or Principal at once.<br />

Always tell the truth even if the<br />

truth is not in your favour and you<br />

will be respected for it.<br />
