TEXT:

“Here, where resistlessly the river runs between majestic mountains to the sea the Patriots’ watch fires burned: their constancy won freedom as a heritage for their sons. To keep that freedom pure, inviolate here are the nation’s children schooled in the arts of peace and the disciplines of war, their hearts made resolute, their wills subordinate to do their utmost duty at the call of this their country whatsoe’er befall. Broadcast upon our history’s ample page the records of their valiant deeds are strown. Proudly their Alma Mater claims her own. May she have sons like these from age to age!”
