Holy Cross Victory March
The Holy Cross Fight Song was derived from the fight song of the University of Notre Dame, which was also founded by priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
- "Rally, sons of Holy Cross.
- Sings her glory, victory or loss.
- Praise her gold and blue,
- and cheer with voices true.
- Rah! Rah! For Holy Cross!
- We will fight in every game
- Strong of heart and true to her name.
- We will ne'er forget her
- And we'll cheer her ever
- Loyal to Holy Cross!
- Cheer, cheer for old Holy Cross.
- Cheer her in victory, cheer her in loss.
- Send a volley cheer on high,
- Shake down the thunder from the sky.
- What though the odd be great or small,
- Old Holy Cross will win over all.
- While her loyal sons are marching
- Onward to victory."

With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!”

under it out toward the island.”

“It must be a peace without victory.... Victory would mean peace forced upon the losers, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which the terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“With two thousand years of Christianity behind him ... a man can’t see a regiment of soldiers march past without going off the deep end. It starts off far too many ideas in his head.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
