Eximia Onus Charter
At the heart of Gentleman Scholar is the Eximia Onus, a symbol representing our collective acknowledgement of exceptional responsibility. These values continue to shape the organisation and its objectives, and inform its design and craftmanship of our exceptional fine writing instruments, embraced by its exclusive membership of Gentleman Scholar Fellows.
The core tenet of Fellowship, and an aspiration encouraged of all Gentleman Scholars, is an agreement to pursue the Eximia Onus Charter commensurate with one's own abilities.
EXIMIA ONUS
"Waste neither the unique opportunities bestowed by cause and chaos nor the divine faculties with which you are distinctly encumbered - pursue all good that is possible with all good that is endowed."
I. To acknowledge, embrace and celebrate all origins of one's becoming; all challenges and endowments, sufferings and salvations.
II. To aspire to one's own greatest heights of exceptional character and inherently unique capacities for exemplary impact and influence.
III. To dedicate one's exceptional endowments, enthusiasm and efforts to the pursuit of authentically distinct excellence.
IV. To recognise with gratitude the critical contributions from the external, and to inspire, foster and nurture the pursuits of others through selfless support, mentorship and leadership.
