Hail to thee our Alma Mater, Faithful guide of youth, Holding high amid the darkness Duty, light, and truth; Still above, the skies attend thee, Still thy stately columns stand, Still thy sons and daughters love thee Sing thy praises o'er the land.

AlMA MATER

All the earth's resplendent beauty Nature gathered here, Rolling lawns and trees and grasses lWhen beloved Alma Mater Memory recalls

On thy hillsides fair; Happy days within thy shadow, Friends and comrades we have won. Fill our hearts with exaltation For thy task so nobly done.

Other days of youth and laughter

In thy gracious halls; When thy sons and daughters scattered Turn again to thee, Still thy lamp is brightly lighting Us afar, that we may see.
