School Song

A school song, alma mater, school hymn or school anthem is the patronal song of a school. In England, this tradition is particularly strong in public schools and grammar schools.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:

    “And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “In winter, when the fields are white,
    I sing this song for your delight—”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
