far in the West where the green valleys run And the sweeping hills dip to the plains; Rise the gray, storied walls of the home that we love Alma Mater, we hail thee again. ’Neath thy shade we have gazed over valley and plain On the scenes that enrapture the eye; And our hearts thrill with pride as the Blue and the Gold Proudly floats ’gainst the evening sky.
