Hail Alma Mater

Words and Music by Charles S. Root '34
Arranged by H. Townsend Helster

Hail Alma Mater, Old R.P.I.
Hail Alma Mater, Old R.P.I.
For Alma Mater, we'll do or die!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Old Alma Mater, as the years roll by
Friends so true we've made at Rensselaer
Happy days we'll ever hold so dear,
Memories that linger thru the years
For Alma Mater give a rousing cheer
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Chorus:
Hail Alma Mater, Old R.P.I.
For Alma Mater, we'll do or die!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Old Alma Mater, as the years roll by
Hail Alma Mater, Old R.P.I.

Hail Alma Mater, praises we bring
Hail Alma Mater, praises we bring
For Alma Mater, we'll always sing!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Old Alma Mater, ever held so dear
Hail Alma Mater, old Rensselaer.
Son of old we hear your challenge ring
From her hills we still can hear you sing
To her walls our hearts will ever cling
For Alma Mater give a rousing cheer
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Chorus
