But voiceless it points to the azure dome.

OUR ALMA MATER.

Dear Alma Mater! beloved thro’ all the west!

Thou who hast taught our infant feet the way

Of light and truth! thou who hast been our stay

And prop thro’ all our weakness! thou whose zest

In strength’ning us would never let thee rest,

E’en in thy trials as in prosperity!

’Tis ours to-day in thy adversity

To aid thee, speed thee thro’ this fiery test.
