Chorus: Swell the chorus; Let it echo Over hill and vale; Hail to thee, our lo ving mother, M.S.C., all hail! First of all thy race, fond mother Thus we greet thee now, While with loving hands the laurel Twine we o'er t4y brow. Backward through the hazy distance Troop the days of yore, Scenes and faces float before us Cherished more and more. College Hall and Wells and Williams, Abbot and the rest, Halcyon days were those spent with you Days of all the best. Fold us fondly to your bosom Alma Mater, dear, Sing we now thy endle!'ls praises Sounding cheer on cheer. 4 EGREE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN SOCIAL WORK Leah Stewart Houser East Lansing Albert Herman Case Tampa.
