Bates Alma Mater

Here's to Bates, our Alma Mater dear,
Proudest and fairest of her peers;
We pledge to her our loyalty,
Our faith and our honor thru the years.

Long may her praises resound.
Long may her sons exalt her name.
May her glory shine while time endures,
Here's to our Alma Mater's fame.

Words by Irving H. Blake 1911; Music by Hubert P. Davis 1912
