Description[?]:
| In memory of Plinio Alditia: While it is good to be helping our students to get a higher education, we should not give them anything for free.

For a healthier and safer Mordusia. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
