Fabian Garcia with members of the first class at NMCA&MA, 1890. Later in life Garcia wrote: "You go to school to train your mind and hand so that you can use them in your life's work and become leaders in whatever vocation you choose. We look to the educated young men of today as the leaders in the coming activities." |

Cornell University, 1900. Garcia wrote, "The supreme object of education is to raise man to his highest power, to develop him along the lines of his noblest nature so that he will be not only keen, sagacious and shrewd but broadminded, evenly and sympathetically balanced, tolerant, sweet, and charitable." |
| "He is not well educated who is not morally better, more conscientious, and of greater force in right living. It is as much a part of true education to develop appreciation and love of all forms of beauty and goodness wherever found...To this day I own Niagra Falls, because the enjoyment which the sight produced upon me is mine and shall continue in my possession as long as I live." |
