AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED
TO YOU WHO IN
THE OLD SCHOOL LEARNED
| "To set the cause above renown, To love the game beyond the prize, To honour, while you strike him down, The foe that comes with fearless eyes; To count the life of battle good, And dear the land that gave you birth, And dearer yet the brotherhood That binds the brave of all the earth. |
· · · · · · · |
To-day and here the fight's begun Of the great fellowship you're free; Henceforth the School and you are one, And what You are, the race shall be." |
| Henry Newbolt |
