"Alma Mater" MandevilleToday we gladly sing the praiseOf her who owns us as her sons;Our loyal voices let us raise,And bless her with our benisons.Of all fair mothers, fairest she,Most wise of all that wisest be,Most true of all the true, say we,Is our dear Alma Mater. Her mighty learning we would tell,Tho' life is something more than lore;She could not love her sons so well,Loved she not truth and honor more.We praise her breadth of charity,Her faith that truth shall make men free,That right shall live eternally,We praise our Alma Mater.The City White hath fled the earth,But where the azure waters lie,A nobler city hath its birth,The City Gray that ne'er shall die.For decades and for centuries,Its battlemented tow'rs shall rise,Beneath the hope-filled western skies,'Tis our dear Alma Mater.-EDWIN H.
