School OF all schools
In our fair State

Come let us fly
Ger the world TO roam;
Yet must we sigh
AS we go home.
Our dear Alma Mater, our highest
guiding star
You beckon us onward to goals sfar.

And glad that now our works all
done.
We've toilcd both night and day for

Well, OF what? Our degree.
What daughter could
Help loving you?
Thou'rt noble and good.
Our mother so true.
You've fostered us
And nurtured us. too
Let this be our song.
