OSrciuu-y Kruiiimi University Anthem Written by John Milton Gregory and first sung at the formal opening of the University on March II, 1868. We hail thee! Great Fountain of learning and light; There's life in thy radiance, there's hope in thy might W e greet now thy dawning, but what singer's ryme, Shall follow thy course down the ages of time? O'er homes of the millions, o'er rich fields of toil, Thy science shall shine as the sun shines on soil, And Learning and Labor—fit head for fit hand— Shall crown with twin glories our broad prairie land. And as generations, in the grand march of time, Shall fill the long ages with numbers sublime, Thy portals shall throng with the lowly and great Thy Science-crowned children shall bless all the State. Then hail thee! blest fountain of labor and light, Shine on in thy glory, rise ever in might; We greet now thy dawning; but ages to come Must tell of thy grandeur, and shout Harvest Home.
