[edit] Alma Mater

Hail the Giants, Hail to Ross; May the breeze our banner toss. See our colors loved and fair, Streaming in the evening air. Lo, the western sky aflame, At the praise of thy dear name. Thro' the twilight shadows dim, Faint, sweet echoes of this hymn. Alma Mater, hail to thee! True and loyal hearts have we! Well, we've loved thee in the past, Still we'll love thee to the last!
