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 happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    “But see, the Virgin blest
    Hath laid her Babe to rest:
    Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
    Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
    Hath fixed her polished car,
    Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
    And all about the courtly stable,
    Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
