Our loyalty we pledge to thee, Oh, Mother Dean, Our lives shall be a faith forever true to live, Of praises thine in life to give; Sung praises of thee ours shall be Thro’out this world’s eternity. Oh, Alma Mater’s storied past thro’out our lives will ever last. With years that pass to memory, Thy pledge to youth shall constant be. We love thy paths, thy golden hours, Thy ivied walls, thy shaded bowers. To precepts high we learned of thee We promise love and loyalty. Oh, Alma Mater’s lessons true Will be our pride this whole life through. Thy spiring pines, thy portals wide, Thy sturdy elms the years abide. Fond mem’ries ring, ne’er to depart, Forever sealed within each heart. We love thee yet, men strong and tried, Our hope and joy in thee confide. Oh, Alma Mater’s beautied place Will e’er remain fond mem’ries grace. Oh, Awpie Way that leads afar, Our love returns where e’er we are To days we spent with life inspired, With spirit fresh and purpose fired; Our guiding light, our fated star. For thee our love where e’er we are. Oh, Alma Mater’s sons afar Pledge faith and love where e’er we are.
