Alma Wesleyana From hearts aflame, our love we pledge to thee,
When college days are fully past and gone,
Where'er we wander, over land or sea;
While life endures, from twilight dream til dawn,
Through time unending loyal we wJ11 be-
Grandly thy soul shall with us linger on
True to our Alma Mater, Wesleyan.
Star-crowned, our Alma Mater, Wesleyan!
DR. RAYE L. RAGAN
