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:

    For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
    Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 2:10-13.
