ALMA MATER
Bloomsburg State,
We proudly sing to thee
Of glories and of honors

That have framed -thy majesty;
Though we'll depart
Not one will hesitate
To pledge his lifelong loyalty
To Bloomsburg State!
Bloomsburg State,
Stand proud against thy foes,
Let victory thy colors see
While honor by thy goal;
Maroon and Gold
Let none thy fame berate,
As forward on to victory
Goes Bloomsburg State!
Music and Lyrics by
Donald Messimer '70
