Which university’s school motto is to stop at perfection?

Striving for perfection is the motto of Southeast University.

In the 21st century, during the preparations for Southeast University’s centenary anniversary, cadres and employees generally believed that a simple and clear statement should be chosen to summarize the spirit of the school and serve as the code of conduct for teachers and students. A group of overseas alumni and well-known professors proposed to restore the school motto of the National Southeast University in the 1920s - to stop at the best. On March 29, 2002, the school leaders’ collective meeting reviewed and approved the restoration of “Ending with Perfection” as the school motto of Southeast University.

The school motto of "Ending with Perfection" is based on the deep soil of Chinese civilization and inherits the long historical tradition of Southeast University. It not only expresses the determination to inherit the fine traditions of national culture and the fine traditions of the school, but also contains The desire to pursue perfection in teaching, scientific research, management and social services has inspired generations of Dongda people to keep making progress and never stop, to build a first-class university, be a first-class scholar, become a first-class talent, create first-class results, and provide first-class social services.
