5.-OLD NASSAU-PRINCETON Tune every heart and every voice Let all with one accord rejoice, Chorus: In praise of old Nassau, my boys, Her sons will give, while they shall live, 6. SANS SOUCI-COLUMBIA One last toast ere we part! "Long may Columbia stand 7.-ALMA MATER-BROWN Alma Mater, we hail thee with loyal devotion, As the name of Old Brown in loud chorus we raise. The happiest moments of youth's fleeting hours, We've passed 'neath the shade of these time-honor'd walls; And sorrows as transient as April's brief showers Have clouded our life in Brunonia's halls. 8.-ON THE BANKS OF THE OLD RARITAN-RUTGERS My father sent me to old Rutgers And so I settled down In that noisy college town On the banks of the old Raritan. Chorus: On the banks of the old Raritan, my boys, For has she not stood Since the time of the flood, On the banks of the Old Raritan? 9. THE DARTMOUTH SONG Dartmouth! Dartmouth! Thy honor shall be ever dear, 10.-HAMPDEN-SIDNEY SONG Here's to old Hampden-Sidney, the garnet and the gray, For we'll spread with song and story, the fame of H. S. C. When the group is completed a color guard with the Stars and Stripes forms the center of the tableau and the pageant closes with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," the audience joining in the singing. THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, 'Tis the star spangled banner; oh, long may it wave And where is that band who so vauntingly swore From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave; And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. RECEPTION BY MR. JAMES NEILSON "Woodlawn," 4:00 to 6:00 P. M. Immediately following the Pageant Mr. James Neilson, a Trustee of the College and member of the class of 1866, tendered a reception in honor of the delegates, guests, Trustees, Faculty, and alumni at his residence, "Woodlawn," adjacent to the College Farm. It was largely attended and very enjoyable. Many members of the Pageant cast attended in the quaint costumes of earlier days, adding a touch of variety and picturesqueness. The heavy rain which had begun to fall interfered somewhat with the attendance and with the convenience of guests in arriving and departing. |
