Pennsylvania Alpine Club
Reading edition
THE CREED: To protect, study and preserve, wherever possible, the history, folk lore, folk songs and proverbs of our mountain people. To preserve historic place names and their rightful spelling, Indian traditions and Indian names. To secure the Pennsylvania Mountains a wider popularity and appreciation. To work for pure air, pure water, pure manhood and womanhood against the inroads of the modern complex, urban civilization. To save the ancient landmarks, such as old forts and other pioneer structures and memorials, and historic and noteworthy trees and groves. To create a sentiment for the education and moral encouragement of the Pennsylvania mountain children, neglected in favor of the children of the Kentucky and Tennessee mountains. To stand at all times for the American Flag and Pennsylvania Beautiful.
