Endowed in eighteen forty-two, The wisdom of an age Cements the firm foundation years have made. Yet young with youth who yearly bring The spirit of today, She rises to a challenge ever new: To build Willamette taller yet, To give and gain the best. Her praise we sing, for we are Willamette, too. CHORUS: Willamette, Alma Mater, Long may you serve the West; For time can never dim the gold And cardinal of your crest. Forever to be faithful, Together to be true, With loyal hearts that hold her high, We hail Willamette U. VERSE II We, too, must face the future With ever-growing goals Alert to use the means we here have gained. We seek to dedicate our dreams To justify her faith, Resolved to see our highest hopes attained. We meet the quickened pace of life With purpose as our guide; We recognize the trust we must hold true. Willamette grants the strength we need, The wisdom we possess. Her praise we sing, for we are Willamette, too. CHORUS REPEATED: SOPHOMORE SONG ...
