655902 Proem Hail! All hail! to the Black and Old Gold! With what rapturous joy did we greet thee of old! And why do we love thee, so strong and so true? Because thou ' rt the symbol of dear old Purdue. ' T is not for thy colors so glowing and bright; Nor alone for thy beauty which gleams in the light: Then why do we honor the Black and Old Gold? Because ' t is the emblem of all that we hold So worthy of honor, of love, and so true; Because it waves over our own dear Purdue. We ne ' er shall forget thee, thou banner so fair. And unto thee ever our homage we ' 11 bear; While the inspiration thou freely dost lend, For acting our parts well -may it never end. But strengthen with years. And e ' er may we be, Our dear Alma Mater, true unto thee. Then whenever we see the Black and Old Gold Waving over the campus, bringing back days of old, Our hearts tilled with love, our eyes dim with tears. We will think of our school days, thro ' vistas of years. So this is the reason, with reverence great. To thee, with these words, would we dedicate The pages which follow. And again would we say, That— Deits i-olens — may long wait the day When our ardor shall slacken, our love for thee fail. So we give thee our greetings— Hail! Thrice, all hail!
