Alma Mater
Colby's alma mater is "Hail, Colby, Hail". The lyrics to the song were written by Karl R. Kennison from the class of 1906 and it is sung to the tune of "O Canada". In 1979, the second line was changed from "thy sons from far and near" to "thy people far and near."
- Hail, Colby, Hail!
- Thy people far and near
- Stand at thy call,
- Our Alma Mater dear.
- Thy shaded paths recall our steps
- To gather at thy shrine.
- Thy memoried halls reclaim our hearts
- Till all our thoughts are thine.
- Hail, Colby, Hail!
- Hail, Colby, Hail!
- To thee we lift our hearts and homage pay;
- Our Alma Mater, Hail the Blue and Gray!
