ALMA MATER
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater glorious,
Fresh wreaths we bring to bind thy brow;
Trials past thou hath withstood victoriousI
Never fairer, never statelier than now.
0 Edinboro, Edinboro, We revere theeI
Love thee, serve thee ever,
While class speeds class, As swift years pass
To thee our hearts are true.
