It was originally created by George Herbert Palmer, a professor at Harvard University. Our founders’ burning desire was that each student would catch a vision of his or her purpose which would eventually manifest itself in world service. Today, the ideals of The Purpose Road Philosophy permeate the educational process at Alice Lloyd College. All students work either on campus or in community outreach positions off-campus. Good character is emphasized and supported. The Purpose Road Philosophy manual includes the following passage: By an inexorable law,What we expect tends to come to us.Facing life in the right way, we must haveA PurposeA GoalA Vision.Then hold the thought and work toward it.It will come as dawns the day.
