The fundamental aim of the new Lyceum is to create a new institution firmly based on Aryan ideals so that individuals can be trained to strive to achieve these ideals, thus advancing themselves and thus emerging, or graduating, from such a place as a new type of individual. This new type of individual would thus belong to a new élite. The word 'lyceum' is the word used to describe such an Aryan institution. This is apt, since the lyceum was the name of the garden in ancient Athens where Aristotle taught his logic and philosophy, and where there was a temple to the Greek god Apollo - the word 'lyceum' itself being derived from one of the epithets of Apollo, the god of music, epic poetry, healing, reason and retribution.
The Aryan ideals which would form the basis for this new Lyceum would be personal honour, the quest for individual excellence, the acceptance of duty to preserve and advance one's folk and culture, the development and mastery of the arts of civilization, and the development of the pioneering spirit - that is, the spirit of exploration.
In this Lyceum, individuals would develope both their minds, their bodies and the spirit of reason and adventure. They would be taught Aristotelian logic, and learn how to reason, by, for example, studying Euclid's 'Elements'. They would participate in adventurous sports and undertake character-building tasks based on exploration, risks and discovery. They would learn to develope their body in a disciplined way and learn how to fight and defend themselves, as warriors learn how to fight and defend themselves. They would learn about Aryan history and Aryan culture by studying the works of Homer and reading Thucydides, Herodotus, Tacitus and Caesar. They would become familiar with great Aryan music from before the time of J.S. Bach up to and beyond the time of Vaughan Williams, as they would study science and learn how to conduct useful and practical scientific experiments.
In brief, they would become accomplished, civilized, noble warriors who possessed a supreme self-confidence, supreme abilities and the beginnings of wisdom. The individual ideal for this Lyceum is the honest, honourable, fighting man or woman who possesses discretion, culture, a noble character, an adventurous spirit, a sense of duty and a rational optimistic outlook. Thus would a new, and higher, type of individual be created.
The creation of this individual is essential for the future of civilization, for it is such individuals who can create a new and higher civilization. Only such a Lyceum can create such individuals in numbers sufficient for such a civilization to be created and maintained, and for the ideal of a Galactic Empire to made a reality. It must be one of the tasks of the Reichsfolk organization to found and maintain such a Lyceum.
