CLASS MEDALLION The first class medallion was created to commemorate UTEP’s 100th Commencement ceremony in May 1998 at the Sun Bowl featuring The Honorable George W. Bush, then Governor of Texas. Because of the medallion’s popularity, University officials decided to create a Class Medallion for each year’s graduating class starting in the new millennium. The Class Medallion unifies graduates of the spring, summer and winter graduation classes into a single class determined by the graduation year. A scholarship from the Medallion Endowed Scholarship Fund is awarded to a Commencement candidate during the spring and winter ceremonies.

62 “MEN O’ MINES” (1932; Alma Mater 1956)

1. Far beneath the crags of Franklin Stand our Alma Mater’s halls. Gleams afar her rock-hewn campus, Dust brown walls against the hills. Gem of learning in a country Whose own wealth of lore enthralls. Hail the light of Texas Western And the mission she fulfills!

Chorus: Up! Men of mines, and hit the trail; The Texas spirit shall not fail; Miners fight for the right! For the orange and white! Tamp! Tamp! Tamp! Men of mines, Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Men of mines, Now clear the way, for it’s today, That we must gain the victory.

2. May the canyon walls above her Echo back her classic name, And the deeds of men who leave her Stir the heights on which she stands. May the pangs of recollection Set their memories aflame, Till they see again the beauty Of the vista she commands.
