The NC State Alma Mater
NC State's Alma Mater was written by two students in the early 1920s. Dr. Alvin M. Fountain, a class of ‘22 alumnus and editor of The Technician, wrote the words, while Bonnie Norris, from the class of 1923, composed the music.
Where the winds of Dixie softly blow
o'er the fields of Caroline,
There stands ever cherished, N.C. State,
as thy honored shrine.
So lift your voices! Loudly sing
from hill to oceanside!
Our hearts ever hold you, N.C. State,
in the folds of our love and pride.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
