College Anthem
The college anthem was inherited from Victoria School's original pre-1987 school song, after modifications were made to the lyrics so that VS and VJC can share a common Victorian Anthem. "School" was dropped after "Victoria" in the first two paragraphs shown below in 1987 by Victoria School.
Lyrics by J A Frazer (pre-1987 version)
Music by W E Meyer
Victoria in Singapore
There are other schools we know
Victoria is something more
The school that watch'd us grow
For here we've learnt and striven too
And played the sportsman's game
Victoria we give to you
The honour that you claim
Victoria, thy sons are we
And we will not forget
Victoria, thy triumphs see
And victories we share yet
For others came before and went
And carried to the world
Victoria's fame and our intent
To keep her flag unfurled.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
