School Song

"Home of Our Youth" is the names of the school song; it is also a figuration of the College, a symbol of brotherhood of the students.

Home of Our Youth by Rupert Baldwin (1938)

Home of our youth,
To thee we bring the homage of lives at the spring.
Training thy sons for the game of life,
Sending them forth to the age-long strife,
Ready thy name, ever bright to uphold,
Ready 'gainst evil to fight and be bold.
May those who left thee in years that are past
Guard well thy honour; to truth holding fast.
Home of our youth to thee will we sing,
Long may thy name on our lips proudly ring.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:

    “... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    “The city sleeps and the country sleeps,
    The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
    The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife;
    And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
    And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
    And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
