God of every Nation, Every Race and Creed;
Lord of every creature, Every budding seed;
Friend of every right and foe of every wrong;
Father, Son, Great Spirit, Listen to our song.
So with thankful hearts, we worship and adore Thee,
Father, Son, Great Spirit,
Holy Trinity.
Ye alumni loyal, who have passed and gone,
Of your Christian lives this day for us was born.
Grant, O God, that we may live as worthily,
Passing onward greater opportunity.
So with thankful hearts, we worship and adore Thee,
Father, Son, Great Spirit,
Holy Trinity.
ALMA MATER
(The Blue and White)
Words and Music by William Augustine Perry, Class of 1902

1
The dark hue of the violet
The snow white lily鈥檚 bloom,
Are emblems of the virtues rare
That seal all failure鈥檚 doom;
That give us courage ever
To dare to do the right;
For Alma Mater dear they stand,
All hail the Blue and White.
2
All through the days we spend at school
Midst scenes we hold so dear
Where friendships made are ne鈥檈r forgot
Where always there鈥檚 good cheer;
While for enchanting knowledge
Or charming laurels bright
We strive our best, we ne鈥檈r forget
鈥楾is for the Blue and White.
3
Where鈥檈r relentless duty calls
O鈥檈r life鈥檚 tempest鈥檕us seas
We鈥檒l go and loyally we鈥檒l abide
White weal or woe decrees
Yes, loyal to the colors
That stand for 鈥淩ight is Might.鈥�
Our country鈥檚 flag, the Stars and Stripes
And ours, the Blue and White.
4
O sing a song of love and praise
From loyal hearts and pure,
For her our Alma Mater dear
And for听 her ideals true;
For the eighty-seven years she鈥檚 triumphed,
As upward in her flight
She鈥檚 climbed to be a beacon light –
Her banner Blue and White.
