1916 Yearbook
Description
Alma Mater!
Saint Ambrose, to honor thee now we are come,
And to thee all our homage we bear,
Alma Mater, the truest, the noblest, the best,
The fairest of all that is fair.
Dear friendships in thee will ever be found,
Rich treasures for soul and for mind;
Thou hast sheltered us well from life's perils and storms,
And thy ties 'round our hearts thou hast twined.
Our voices we raise in the highest acclaim,
And our loyalty now to thee plight.
We love thee; we'll win thee bright laurels of fame;
Thy honor we'll keep fair and white.
To enter the portals of Wisdom's estate
We are striving within thy bright walls;
And slowly, but surely, we're learning the way
To answer aright duties' calls.
We pray that good fortune may ever be thine
In all that the future may bring.
Oh! Saint Ambrose, thy praises, fond, loyal, and true,
Through eternity clearly shall ring.
We ne'er can forget thee; as long as we live
Thy memory shall brighten our lot,
And dry with the dryness of ashes shall be
The heart that remembereth not.
JAMES MORROW, '18.
