Harvard’s president rejected Trump’s demands. Here’s how other university leaders ...

Harvard, as the most prestigious global institution of higher education, has finally and firmly stood for academic freedom and independence with its motto, Veritas."

"Harvard’s motto, Veritas, has a long — and for two centuries, invisible — history. The Veritas shield is a central element of Harvard University’s graphic identity dating back to 1643."Harvard University Shields

As "Harvard motto: What it means and hwy it matters "explains, the motto holds significance now more than ever in proving that the pen is mightier than the sword under any circumstances.

While writing, the lyrics of "If We Hold On Together" come to mind. Let us also not forget the countless children suffering in the midst of wars. We must give them the chance to learn! Once again, the pen is mightier than the sword—never the other way around! This principle is the very foundation of our democracy.

"We hold on together"

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith hope and glory
Hold to the truth
In your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams
Will never die
Dreams see us through
To forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the winds
must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears
All away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come
Home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams
Will never die
Dreams see us through
To forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there
In the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark
We'll feel the light
Warm our hearts
Everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams
Will never die
Dreams see us through
To forever
As high
As souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works.." (Mathew 5:16)
