"Estote Fortes" (the School Song)
The School Song is built around the motto (itself derived from 1 Corinthians, chapter 16, verse 13): Viriliter Agite, Estote Fortes – “Quit ye like men, be strong.”
Estote Fortes
- When the task is dull and the days are long,
- And the world is full of tears,
- We shall hear from afar the tune of a song
- Come rolling down the years.
- Viriliter Agite Estote Fortes
- Quit ye like men. Be Strong!
- We shall hear the tramp of a thousand feet,
- As the road goes sliding by,
- And we'll feel again the throb of the beat
- That keeps our Courage high.
- Viriliter Agite Estote Fortes
- Quit ye like men. Be Strong!
- As we go forth to fight and to right what is wrong
- And the work of the world to do,
- The clarion call of the Old School Song,
- Shall carry us bravely through
- Viriliter Agite Estote Fortes,
- Quit ye like men. Be Strong!

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“And Guidobaldo, when he made
That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
