The Blue and White Song
Words and Music by William Augustine Perry, Class of 1902
ALMA MATER
The BLUE and WHITE
The dark hue of the violet
The snow white lily's bloom
Are emblems of the virtues rare;
That seal all failures's doom;
That giv us courage ever
To dare to do the right:
For Alma Mater dear they stand,
All hail the Blue and White.
O sing a song of love and praise
From loyal hearts and pure,
For her our Alma Mater dear
And for her ideals true;
For over a hundred years she's triumphed,
As upward in her flight
She's climbed to a beacon light-
Passing onward greater opportunity
Her banner Blue and White.
