Dear to our hearts is our Alma Mater, Loyal and true are we; Truest devotion till life is ended, Wholly we pledge to thee. Tho ' from thy halls far away we wander, Thoughts back to thee will fly, And tender memories time cannot sever, Love that will never die. Heaven ' s choicest blessings ever attend thee, Dear Alma Mater mine- No shadows harm thee, no fears alarm thee, Always the sunshine thine. And tho ' we leave thee, we ' ll never grieve thee, True to our trust we ' ll be; Our best endeavor, now and forever, Always to honor thee. Mrs. Charles Sullivan, Sr.
