The story we would tell you, friends, would cover many a book, The subject matter of the same is found in every nook, Of old S. U. ' s large campus, the common battle ground, Whose trees might wliisper secrets, grave, amus- ing and profound. Chorus: — Of Susquehanna now we sing, let Susquehanna ' s praises ring. Loyal to her by night and by noon, we ' ll wave the Orange and Maroon. Loyal to her by night and by noon, we ' ll wave the Orange and Maroon. How dear to one and all the name their Alma Mater bears, When they have left its classic hall, to shoulder worldly cares. O, winning maids and noble lords, of dear old college days, Come join in recollections fond, and tell us of your ways. In class-room and on gridiron, friend. S. U. will stand the test. Defeat to her a word unknown, her motto, Do your best, With vim then let us give the yell, display her banner bright, That all may know of old S. U., she stands for God and right. ORANGE AND MAROON TL-XE THE WATCH OX THE RHINE. As students all loyal and true We sing in praise of old S. U. Our joyful praises now we bring. Let high our joyful chorus ring. Chorus: — All hail to thee, dear old S. U. All hail to thee, dear old S. U. Long may her colors wave. Orange and Maroon, Long may her colors wave. Orange and Maroon. . To thee we bring our homage true, Which to thy worth and praise is due, And as thy sons, from near and far, We follow thee, our Guiding Star. We sing on this our jubilee Hosannas loud and praises free. We look to God and honor pay For guidance since our natal day. When fifty more years roll around. May sons in legion proud abound, And bring bright garlands to bestow Her centennial with glories glow. ■J YELL A! N! N! A! H! E! U! O! S! U! S! Susquehanna ! U ! RAH!
