To the University of Omaha

From the June 1914 The Metropolitan

 

You may sing praise of spacious halls,

Of buildings grand with frescoed walls;

Of beautiful campus and dormitories,

Of marble halls and conservatories.

 

You may boast of student bodies great

Composed of men from every state;

Of football teams of wide renown,

Which down upon all others frown.

 

But the good old U. of O. for mine;

May success upon her ever shine.

I would not change for buildings tall

Our dear, old, rambling Redick Hall.

 

But though time may change this well-loved home,

As with each year mores students come;

May she never lose the close personal touch,

Or the fine school spirit we prize so much.

 

Mae Carney, ’17
