SONGS

For Chicago, Alma Mater.

For Chicago, Alma Mater!

And the honor of her name, ;

Her sons shall raise with loyal praise The glory of her fame.

For Chicago, Alma Mater!

Just as long as her life shall run.

Hearts are in tune, beneath the old Maroon,

Forever she has won.

— Donald R. Richberg, ’01.

Wave the Flag

Wave the flag of old Chicago,

Maroon the color grand.

Ever shall our teams be victors,

Known throughout the land.

With the grand old man to lead them. Without a peer they’ll stand;

Wave again the dear old banner.

For they’re heroes every man.

(Repeat.)

— Gordon Erickson, ’10.

A Grand Old Stagg

He’s a grand old Stagg,

Though we don’t like to brag.

And his worth we will prove to you soon;

He’s the idol of the team we love. That flghts for the dear old Maroon, (Rah, Rah)

We’ll stick by him, though we lose or w’e win.

And our faith in him can’t lag;

Though other coaches may be good, Take your hat off to “Old Man Stagg.’’

The Man Who Wears the “C.”

O, here’s to the man who wears the “C.” Who fights a good fight for the ’Varsity;

Here’s to the man who’s fought and won. Showed his true worth as Chicago’s son;

Here’s to the man who’s brave and bold, Ready to battle like knights of old,

Fights like a tiger for victory, O, here’s to the man who wears the “C.’’

Hello, Bello

Hello! Bello; Go Chicago, Go! Hello! Bello! Down with every foe! Fight like men today, boys, never give in, For Chicago we know that you can win. Hello! Bello! Wearers of the “C.” Hello! Bello! On to victory! From the crowded bleachers Hear our mighty yell As we cheer for Varsity!

— Blackfriars, ’10.

The March of the Maroons

Plunge, plunge on through the line And fight for old Chicago’s fame.

Smash into ev’ry play; Chicago’s grit will win this game.

As we roll up the score. The cheers resound from high and low.

Tear through the line again and go, Chi-ca-go! Go! Go! Go!

— Marvin, ’12.

An Alma Mater

Now the shadows softly stealing. Shroud with ‘gray old Mitchell’s Tow’r, Now the lyric chimes are pealing, Ringing in the twilight hour. Now with love our hearts o’erflOwing, Sing we Alma Mater’s fame, In a paean ever growing. To the glory of her name.

Tall and straight the gothic spires, Stand against the darkening skies, or Turrets gleam with fading fires, And the crimson evening dies. Then we raise the lusty chorus, Singing Alma Mater’s praise, May her banner long float o’er us. Strength to her and length of days.

— Blackfriars, ’13.

Chicago Marching Song

We are cheering for you, Chicago, We are wearing your colors today. We are loyal and true, Chicago, to you, And we’re here to help you win, Chicago, We’re Maroon thru and thru, Chicago, And our hearts are with you, Chicago, So we sing as you play, Chicago, today, C-h-i-c-a-g-o.
