There was Fuller and Ed, Luther and Lew, Jerome, Jeter, and Jim Clouse, too; Yates, Jud, Harry, and Lee,, i Emmett, Carl, and old I.

How they came skipping and tripping from wood and dell, At the chiming and rhyming of the faithful old bell. Oh, the bell, the bell, the dear old. college bell. Its voice still lures with a magical spell. . How we wish it could be when our Work here is done, And old Gabriel comes to call us all home, He'd put aside his trumpet for a brief little spell, And sound out the summons by the tolling of tihe bell, the old college bell.
