To Our oAlma Mater Loyalty •By ISABEL WILLIAMSON SMRS. S. J. CUMMINGS Oh, cAlma ' SMater, here today, We for thy lasting blessings pray; We know not where our paths may go, ut thou It uphold us still we know; Unchanging thou, ' mid changes vast, Unswerved from ideals of the past; Steadfast and true, our watchword e ' er shall be- To thee, our cAlma Mater, Loyalty. Thy trees their solemn chorus blend, cA bout thee, flowers their censors bend. Our voices swell their murmuring strain. Our hearts repeat the old refrain. Thy purpose high to carry on — Oh, f ormal, Thou hast honor won; Steadfast and true, our watchword e ' er shall be- To thee, our cAlma SMater, Loyalty. In after years, when far away. Thy presence strong will near us stay; cAnd as the echo of our song Will, with new courage, lead us on, oAnd to our eager vision then, Sach subtle memory meaning lend, Steadfast and true, our watchword e ' er shall be- To thee, our oAlma ater. Loyalty.
