College Anthem
Hill-throned, where Nature is gracious and kind,
Home of our early youth, grant us the love of truth,
Health for the body, and light for the mind.
KINGSWOOD, O may we be loyal and true to thee,
Holding what'er betide, Virtue and Faith our guide.
Chorus
Loyally, Manfully
All of us true to thee,
'No room for trimmer, coward, or fool;
Word and will true and clean,
Work and play strong and keen,
'None for himself, but all for the school!
School! School! None for himself, but all,
All for the school!
Nor shall the world destroy our love and pride,
For both, we know, the stronger shall grow,
And whatever thy fortunes, we stand at thy side.
Present and Past shall be one in the heart, all for thee,
Holding what'er betide, Virtue and Faith our guide.
Chorus:
Then in all things, whatever Duty's voice many call
Ready we follow and spring to our work;
Country or School may call; play the game, Forward, all!
Shoulder to shoulder, disdaining to shirk!
Duty we dare not flee, heavy the cost may be,
Holding what'er betide, Virtue and faith our guide.
Chorus:

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
