Alma Mater

"In the heart of Carolina, 'Neath its skies of blue, Stands our Noble Alma Mater, Glorious to view. Classic in her broad proportions, Looks she proudly down – Reared against the arch of heaven, With the stars for crown.

(Chorus)

Lift the chorus, speed it onward; Let it never cease; Hail to thee, our Alma Mater; Hail, all hail, to Peace!"

– Words by Miss Nannie Carrington Dinwiddie
