Whereas these games will afford an opportunity of bringing together 
young men and women representing more than seventy nations, of 
many races, creeds, and stations in life and possessing various habits 
and customs, all bound by the universal appeal of friendly athletic 
competition, governed by rules of sportsmanship and dedicated to 
the principle that the important thing is for each and every partici-
pant to do his very best to win in a manner that will reflect credit 
upon himself or herself, and the country represented; and 
Whereas the peoples of the world in these trying times require above 
all else occasions for friendship and understanding, and among the

acts of individuals and not those of governments; and 
Whereas experiences afforded by the Olympic games make a unique 
contribution to common understanding and mutual respect among 
all peoples; and 
Whereas previous Olympic games have proved that competitors and 
spectators alike have been imbued with ideals of friendship, chiv-
alry, and comradeship and impressed with the fact that accom-
plishment is reward in itself; and
