College Song
Sons of this Royal School, rejoice;
Blest the day when each did hear
Our Fair Mother's gentle voice
Come and whisper to the ear
"The College is thine."
Not to all the palm of knowledge
Nor to the most the fame of glory;
But the youngest of the College
Can add this to his life's story
"The college is mine."
When we've left the halls of learning
And shall tread Life's sterner way,
Though we mourn our youth with yearning
Still we claim the right to say
"The College is mine."
If we've learnt what masters taught
Or to work or play or sing,
And have thence a vision caught,
This our school to God we bring,
"The College is Thine."

“I never feel so conscious of my race as I do when I stand before a class of twenty-five young men and women eager to learn about what it is to be black in America.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American college professor. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B3 (July 27, 1994)
“The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
