Alma Mater
Dear Lanier, though fleeting time
May Bear us far away from thee,
Forever In thy hallowed halls
Each heart will dwell in loyalty.
Faithful to the blue and white
We will be;
And before thy shrine of knowledge
We will kneel to thee.

Alma Mater, thy standard waves
Triumphant through each passing year;
We love thy spirit true and brave,
Thy courage through each threatening fear;
We will hold when we begin
Our lives anew,
Memories of thy sheltering walls
And of thy friendships true.
LANIER!
