ALMA MATER

HAIL, Dear Old Shaw U,

Thy Sons revere thy name, Long shall thy works be proud, Undimmed thy fame. Time shall thy praises sing, Glory repay thy tears, And loud thy praises ring, Thru all the years.

Noble thy hallways, Noble thy grassy plains, Nobler the hearts of men, Where thou dost reign.

All we who love thy name, Stout hearts that shall not fail, All rise and loud proclaim, Alma Mater, Hail!
