ALMA MATER
BOLLES, BELOVED ALMA MATER, TOWER HIGH THY MIGHTY WALLS.
MEM’RIES OF OUR DAYS HERE LINGER; LEARNED WE IN THY HALLOWED HALLS.
CLOSELY BONDED BY OUR FRIENDSHIP, PROUD WE STAND WITH VOICES RAISED; YOUTHFUL DAYS OF BOLLES WE TREASURE — KNOWLEDGE, STRENGTH, TRADITION PRAISED.
AS THE RIVER FLOWS BEFORE US, WE MOVE FORWARD TO SUCCEED.
CALLED TO SEEK OUR LIVES VICTORIOUS, WORDS OF NOBLE TUTORS HEED.
EVER FONDLY WE REMEMBER; DAYS SPENT HERE ARE NOW OUR GAIN. LED TO LEARN FOR SAKE OF WISDOM — CHERISHED, BOLLES, YOU WILL REMAIN.
Lyrics by: Julie C. Babcock Music by: William Schirmer
