Following is the presentation ode:
Behold how the aeons have wrought
The most and the fire and the dew,
By an alchemy subtle as thought.
| Away from the sunlight and blue
| The granite long waiting the call
Now shaped TO our will doth attest
| The gratitude shared by us all
On whom thou doth lavish thy best.

And trimming its basin Of gray
| The water wells crystalline, pure.
Our love for myself shall not fail
Thou fountain OF wisdom and truth,
| All hail, Mother Colby, all hail,
! AlmissiIna mater of youth
