C. we love thy shadows When twilight si:ence falls, Flushing deep and softly paling O'er ivy covered halls. Beneath the pines we'1I gather To give our hearts to thee, Sing our love for Alma Mater And thy praises, M . S. C.

In the evening oft we'll gather And turn our thoughts to thee, Sing our love for Alma Mater And thy praises, M . S. C .
