Alma Mater We salule thee. Alma Mater, we salute thee nilli a song. At thy feet our loyal hearts their tribute lay: We had naited for thy coming, in the darkness waited long. Ere the morning star proclaimed thy natal day. Thou has come through tribulation, and thy robe is clean and white. Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom; Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crcnvn is all of light; Thou shah smile away the shadow and the gloom. In thy paths the fields shall blossom and the desert shall rejoice. In the wilderness a living fountain spring. For the blind shall see thy beauty and the deaf shall hear thy voice. And the silent tongues their high hozannas sing. Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountaiii ' s breast. In the midland where the uild deer love to roam: Where the water-lily slumbers while the cypress guards its rest, Lo! thy sunny land of promise and thy home. Where the sons of Carolina taught a Nation to be free. And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave; O ' er a land of peaceful plenty, from the highlands to the sea. May thy banner. Alma Mater, ever wave. R. T. Vann. Page Fourteen
