Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay -robert frost-

Eugene Wijeysingha, former Headmaster and author of “The Eagle Breeds A Gryphon”, describes the Rafflesian Spirit as:
“…the feeling of belonging to a great and magnificent institution, of sharing in everything it stands for, of being aware of everything it stands for, of being aware of everything going on ground. It is a moral quality which has grown out of the ethos of Raffles Institution, a sense of togetherness that cannot be readily sacrificed. It is a force that binds and inspires one to give of one’s best, to strive for nothing less than what one possibly can.
The feeling, like all emotions, is abstract and intangible. It is experienced only when one becomes involved in the life of Raffles, when there is commitment of time and effort. Only then does it enter the bones. Only then can it be fathomed. Only then does it take possession, and drive on to heights unimaginable. It is an awesome phenomenon which has become the life-blood of Raffles.”
-from Dep Headmaster Magendirans note, The Rafflesian Spirit: A Compelling and Transforming Experience
