alma mater, ohio When e’er we take our book of mem’ries

And scan its pages through and through

We’ll find no days that glow so brightly

As those we spent at old O.U.

Within our Alma Mater’s portals

We meet her children hand to hand

And when there comes the day of parting,

Still firm and loyal we will stand.

Alma Mater, Ohio

Alma Mater, brave and fair!

Alma Mater, we hail thee,

For we own thy kindly care.

Alma Mater, Ohio,

When we read thy story o’er,

We revere thee and cheer thee

As we sing thy praise once more.
