THE KIMBALL UNION ALMA MATER
Come you friends of Kimball Union, now our song we raise
For our school upon the hilltop, sing a song of praise.
Kimball Union, Alma Mater hear us as we sing
Words of love and fond devotion which to thee we bring.
Here we forge the bonds of friendship deep within our hearts
And those ties that we have formed here, may they ne’er depart.
Kimball Union, Alma Mater hear us as we sing
Words of love and fond devotion which to thee we bring.
May the name of Kimball Union where so e’re we be
Always bring us back in fancy, dearest School to thee.
Kimball Union, Alma Mater hear us as we sing
Words of love and fond devotion which to thee we bring. – Text by Floyd E. Jarvis, KUA Faculty 1932-1945
AWARDS
Henry Mann Silver Awards
Henry Mann Silver, graduate of the class of 1867 and donor of the Silver Gymnasium, established a prize to be awarded each year for the students who best exemplify the ideal of sound mind in a sound body. The faculty elects three seniors to receive the Henry Mann Silver Award each year.
The Class of 1895 Award
The class of 1895 at the Academy, the 77th graduating class, instituted an award to be given to a member of the Senior class for the attainment of high scholastic merit together with high conduct of citizenship.
The Royal Burnham Townsend Award
Mr. and Mrs. Townsend gave this award in memory of their son, Class of 1912, who died while a student at the Academy. A memorial window in the former Pope Chapel with the inscription “Remember the Lilies of the Field” also commemorates this young man. The Townsend award is given each year to a senior who is most deserving because of courtesy of conduct and cleanliness of life.

Selection for this award is made by the Head of School.
