FOUNDERS DAY Founders Day celebrates the Sisters of Charity of New York, who established Mount Saint Vincent in 1847, and the models of charity from whom the College draws its inspiration: Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Louise de Marillac, and Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Through the vibrant energy and wisdom of these saints, which lives on in our College community, we find new ways to express the legacy of compassion, creativity, and courage which is the heart of the “Charity Connection.”

THE WHITE and THE GOLD All hail! Alma Mater, thy children sing thy praise, Thy banner of gold and white in glory we raise, And though in the years to come, with thee we may not be, Our hearts are thine fore’er, our dear old M.S.V. CHORUS Cheer for the white and the gold, Cheer for the students of old.

Cheer for the ones of today, Cheer Alma Mater our stay.

Cheer for the white and the gold, Proudly our banners unfold.

Long may they wave, stainless and brave!

Cheer for the white and the gold.

All hail! Alma Mater, thy children sing thy praise.

May God guide and guard thee, through all thy length of days, Our love and our loyalty, our aid we pledge to thee, Our hearts shall be with thee, our dear old M.S.V. CHORUS
