Dreams Quote by Thampu Valson
““It was from Andrews that I learned that practising the ‘St. Stephen’s College vision of education’ involves a dual vision – one eye focused on what the missionary founders called ‘the total life of the college’, and the other free to wander beyond her boundaries and to respond to the issues and needs that emerge from time to time.””
