CROAKER Wit kpm When our grandfolks all were young As the Wcsleyans arc today A little college came to life On the plains of Iowa. It hadn’t any money And it hadn’t any style, But it made for education And it came to stay awhile. Oh, they tramped on foot To this college on the plain, They skimped and they worked And saved up to come again. They wore homespun clothes, And they lived on pork and corn, For of persevering stuff True Wesleyans are born. Yes, they set the sands astir In the hourglass of fame And every year we’ll turn it up And start it, new again. For every grain’s for honor And every glint’s for worth, 'Flic treasures that abounding, Shine out on Wesleyan’s hearth. Oh, we’ll ride or we’ll walk, It matters not at all, For the poor and the rich Find a home in Wesleyan’s halls, We will strive for grander heights, Better women, stronger men, And while we work and fight We’ll shout for Wesleyan. Flora Baldwin.
