School Song

"Home of Our Youth" is the names of the school song; it is also a figuration of the College, a symbol of brotherhood of the students.

Home of Our Youth by Rupert Baldwin (1938)

Home of our youth,
To thee we bring the homage of lives at the spring.
Training thy sons for the game of life,
Sending them forth to the age-long strife,
Ready thy name, ever bright to uphold,
Ready 'gainst evil to fight and be bold.
May those who left thee in years that are past
Guard well thy honour; to truth holding fast.
Home of our youth to thee will we sing,
Long may thy name on our lips proudly ring.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:

    “The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
    —Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon 8:6.
