XVith one accord in song your voices raise: Proclaim loud their glory, those walls Old and hoary, The college where are spent such happy days. CHORUS Then come UniOn's sons Ne'er let the glad chorus fail, That tells in proud measure I-low fondly we treasure Old Union, beside the Mohawk vale. If true sons are jewels a mother adorning, Resplendent Alma Mater's brow will light, Her children wide-scattered,- are everywhere loyal . To Union, to our country and the rlght.

SIMPSON AND PEARL V. CORBIN When foes are come and courage stands To face the battle's gleam, When every man stands hand in hand To back Old Union's team, When cheer on cheer rings O'er the field, And as one man we stand, We'll voice the thought, we'll never yield, And sing to our Alma Mater grand. CHORUS Union, Union, our college fa' Olgl Alma Mater beyond conilpare, Tr1ed.and'true stands ev'ry son, Pledgmg l1lS l0yalty to Old Union.

We'll ne'er forget, we'll love thee yet, And dream of our Alma Mater grand. CHORUS-Union, Union, etc. e as Hniun illallg 5-fvnng By A. D. KLINE, '08 All hail to thee, dear Alma Mater Union cheer for aye. Each day will bring us ever nearer, To the parting Way.

CHORUS Rouse the echoes, let them peal O'er ev'ry land and sea. To myriad voices may they answer 'till eternity. Dear Alma Mater may thy loyal sons e'er raise this song to thee, And Wake the echoes with the paean Union and victory. Tho' years may pass and fortunes alter, We'll still- be true to thee. And as sweet memories grow older Our love shall stronger be. Thy sons in life have done thee honor, And spread afar thy name. Then ever may thy glory shine, And thy undying fame Rah, Rah, Rah. CHORUS-Rouse the echoes, let them peal, etc. -

TI-IE CIARNET, I9IO I7 Svnnga Alma illllater Sung in Gblh lininn By Frrz I-IUGH LUDLOW, '56 Let the Grecian dream of his sacred stream, And sing of the brave adorning That Phoebus weaves from his laurel leaves, At the golden gates of morning, But the brook that bounds through Union's grounds Cvleams bright as the Delphic water, And a prize as fair as a god may wear Is a dip H from our Alma Mater. CHORUS Then here's to thee, the brave and free, Old Union smiling o'er usg And for many a clay as thy walls grow gray, May they ring with thy children's chorusp , V. ,. Could our praises throng on the waves of song, f Like an Orient fleet gem-bringing, We would bear to thee the argosy, And crown thee with pearls of singingg But a smile beams down beneath a crown Whose glory asks no otherg We gather it not from the green sea-grot- 'Tis the love We bear our mother. CHORUS-Then here's to thee, etc. Let the joy that falls from thy dear old Walls Unchanged brave time's ion-dartingg And our only tear fall Once a year On the hands that clasp ere partingg And when other throngs shall sing thy songs, And their spell Once more has bound us, Our faded hours shall revive their Howers, And the past shall live around us. Etvrrarv 5-'Jung By Frrz I-IUOH LUDLOW, '56 Ye Union boys whose pipes are lit, Come forth in merry throngg Upon the terrace let us sit,' And cheer our hearts with song, Old Prex may have his easy chair,- The Czar may have his throne,- Their cushions may get worse for wear, But not our seat of stone. CHORUS Thou grand old seat Of stone, Thou jolly old seat of stone, Then here's to thee, right merrily. Thou grand old seat of stone. 'Twas here the old Alumni sat, On balmy nights of yoreg And many voices joined in chat, Whose, music, ringsmno more, f Fromsmany '-seiwf-fl-ip -Q-sthefi SPiI1B.l'S ' -curled, F. 1 AndisRwherritheyi-,rolledf .awayw so 1 - The smokertwent into the world, And came no more for aye. CHORUS Thou grand Old seat of stone, Thou jolly old seat of stone, The changing years still find thee here, Thou grand old seat of stone. When Captain Jackson sees his plants ln bloom a few times more, Some boys who sport our altered pants X7Vill knock at UniOn's door, And when the Tutes have let them in, Old Terrace, thou shalt see, Them sitting where their dads And singing over thee. CHORUS have sat Thou grand Old seat of stone, Thou jolly Old seat of stone, To thee shall be our legacy, Thou grand Old seat of stone.

TI-IE GARNET, 1910 Az Zflheg Zinunil the laurel By HOMER GREENE, '76 As they hound the laurel on the victor's brow, Sang to him a song of victory, So with greenest laurels we will crown thee now, Sing a. song of victory to thee. CHORUS Union, Union, thine the song we sing, Union, Union, let- the chorus ring, Wake the slumhering echoes, shout the glad refrain, Cheer for Alma Mater, once again. Thine the name we cherish, thine the name we bear, Thine the gray old walls we clearly love, And the grateful mem'ry of a mother's care, Time shall ne'er from loyal hearts remove.
