St. Xavier's College is not a mere building - all concrete and iron, stone and bricks and mortar. It is much more than a material and physical reality; it was created by the devotion and zeal, the self-sacrifice and generosity of men and women who gave their all for the best education of the youth of India. Faith and hope and love have gone into its making; discipline, scholarship and service are its adornments.

Worldly-mindedness, self-interest, and mercenary motives do not reign within St. Xavier's precincts but the serene spirit and dynamic industry of men and women, filled with the ardent desire to give India loyal, devoted and useful citizens.
