Boys and Girls, Be ambitious!

Be ambitious
  not for money or for selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame.
Be ambitious
  for knowledge, for righteousness, and for the uplift of your people.
Be ambitious
  for the attainment of all that a man ought to be....

This is the last message　for the students of Sapporo-No-Gakkou (present Hokkaido University) by Dr. William Smith Clark, the founder of Hokkaido University.
