Transportation is public service. While the world of business obtains compensation for its service, yet service is its principle contribution. Service was given by the first great Teacher, not to one but to many. There is no field of work which reaches more lives than that of business. You will have an opportunity in business teaching to influence, direct, and guide many who will engage in that work.
Gold stands for progress.
You have come up the path to the altar of Progress, the goal and ambition of Pi Omega Pi. Often the path seems a long, rough one, but we cannot let this defeat us, as our path must lead onward always. It is the ever advancing and illuminating rays of Progress which have led men through the ages to do greater and better deeds, to accomplish things. Our civilization is an accumulation of the progress of man. Progress is a path to a goal which is never fully attained, but one for which we continue to strive through Loyalty and Service.
