Ok... where is this ORIGINALLY from...

Here's a wonderful, fascinating website, and specifically a manic talk by Clifford Stoll, who wrote " The Cuckoo's Egg", a book about tracking computer hackers. I read it back when I was an electrical engineer... But now he's thinking a bit more broadly, as you can see in the video:

He ends the talk with an inscription on a bell, in the bell tower at SUNY Buffalo:

"All truth is one.
In this light, may science and religion endeavor together for the steady evolution of Mankind:
From darkness to light,
From narrowness to broadmindedness,
From prejudice to tolerance,
It is the voice of life that calls us to come and learn."

I assume that this is something said by the school's first president... or at a building dedication...

But it was interesting...
