Hail to thee, O Alma Mater,
Bright morning star of youth —
May our lives prove yet the glory,
Thy name our badge of truth.
Thy name our badge of truth —
Thy sons shall e’er be true —
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
And thine emblem, red and blue.
Rich in years, enwreathed in laurels,
Thy long-sped hopes abound,
And whenever lies the guerdon,
Their sons may still be found.
Their sons may still be found —
Thy sons shall e’er be true —
Striving still for Alma Mater,
And her emblem, red and blue.
“May the flame of knowledge burn brightly while the torch is in our keeping.”
