FriDAY, MAy 24 THE ALMA MATER Sons of Elon, daughters too, Bring their praise and homage true. In thy keeping there will be Words and deeds to honor thee. Hearken to the song they’re singing, And the loyalty they’re bringing. Alma Mater, they will cherish thee; Alma Mater, they will cherish thee. Proud, the oak trees on thy hill Offer shade and shadow still Green the fields around thee lie; Blue the Carolina sky. Stately rise thy halls of learning, Toward their portals we are turning. Alma Mater, we will cherish thee; Alma Mater, we will cherish thee. Elon, ever lead us on To a bright and happy dawn; Teach us still to love and pray, Guide us to a nobler day. Joyous music lies before us, Memories to swell the chorus. Alma Mater, we will cherish thee; Alma Mater, we will cherish thee.
