Alma Mater and Fight Song

Alma Mater
Lyrics by Mary J. Walker and Carl M. Franklin
Music by Carl M. Franklin

Though far we wander from thy door,
following paths of golden lore,
With love and pride we think of thee,
Rev'ling in treasured memories.
'Neath sparkling stars and northern lights,
Hills crest halls gleam stately white,
Inspiring love and faith to glowing flame;
Our Alma Mater we revere thy name.

All hail Alaska, sing her praise;
Our home of carefree college days.
A pioneer we see thee stand,
Champion of far north frontier land.
Thy sons and daughters e'er we'll be,
Forever loyal and true to thee,
Imbued with love we sing glad acclaim,
Our Alma Mater we praise thy name.

Fight Song
Music by Carl. M Franklin

Fight for Alaska win the victory!
Fight for Blue and Gold.
Hail to our banner, as it waves so free,
Over the victor's fold.
Cheer for the Nanooks, mighty men and women are they,
Onward to honor and fame!
Fight on to win for our Alma Mater, Fight for Alaska's name!
