ON FOREVER, ILLINOIS!

Illinois! Above the prairie High thine eagle wings his flight, Watching, vigilant and wary, Over human toil and right! Eagle-pinioned, on with joy! On forever, Illinois! Through the storm sweep on with joy! On forever, Illinois! Illinois! The times are calling Souls that fear no sacrifice! Men for Liberty are falling; Will your sons refuse the price ? Scorning danger, on with joy! On forever, Illinois! On through death! On, on with joy! On forever, Illinois! Illinois! Thy meed of glory That all men, till years are dust, story. borne On through death! On, on with joy! On forever, Illinois! Eagle-pinioned, on with joy! On forever, Illinois! Benediction is then pronounced by the President of the University.
