Alma Mater
The Alma Mater was first sung at Commencement in 1913.
(Text by Robert F. Vaughn, 1908)
On the city’s western border
Reared against the sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
As the years roll by.
Refrain:
Forward ever be thy watchword,
Conquer and Prevail.
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Vanderbilt, All Hail!
Cherished by thy sons and daughters,
Thy mem’ries sweet shall throng
Round our hearts, O Alma Mater,
As we sing our song.
Refrain
Listen to Vanderbilt’s Alma Mater
