Alma Mater

 
The Alma Mater is sung every Monday at Morning Reports and throughout the school year.

Reared on the heights of Ida,
Against the wide-arched sky,
The sunbeams fall athwart thee,
The moonbeams gently lie.
Across thy open hilltop,
The winds blow bold and free;
O ye grey walls, protecting,
We raise our song to thee!
Come let us sing together,
A song of grateful praise;
In honor of our founder
The joyous strains upraise.
’Twas she beheld the vision
And wrought with steadfast will;
’Tis we with joyous labor
That vision must fulfill!
"Semper fidelis" singing
To Emma Willard dear,
Above the grey walls ringing
Our song floats sweet and clear,
O touch each fleeting moment
With friendship’s alchemy,
The days that lie before us
Our memories soon shall be!


Caroline Carter Davis, Class of 1903
