Eternal One, the source of life and light for all people, we pray that you endow the University of Southern California with your grace and wisdom. Give insight and devotion to those who teach, understanding and diligence to those who learn. Grant vision to the university’s trustees and administrators, and a spirit of mutuality to all whose work is here. May the ideal of being a Trojan Family be fulfilled as we care for one another, enrich the traditions that we have inherited, and pass them on through the chain of generations.  To all who bear like a palm the university’s proud name, convey your guiding spirit of truth and service.  And let us say, Amen.
