We of AUC Forever
Raise our voices now together
Time and place shall never sever
We of AUC
College Days and mem'ry
Games, defeat, or victory,
On and all emotions call
And bind our hearts in loyalty together,
Shoulder let us stand to shoulder
Pledge our love as life grows older
Courage ever making bolder
We of AUC
May thy torch eternal burning
Light for us the lamp of learning
That our souls, the truth discerning
Count for AUC
We thy mem'ry treasure,
strive to do thy pleasure
Causing right to conquer might
To give to thee our love in fullest measure,
Holding ever bright before us,
Those ideals our college bore us,
Raising up a mighty chorus,
To our AUC
Posted this because I had to sing it for graduation. Must still be part of the graduation ceremonies at AUC. However while in a nostalgic mood, I could not find it anywhere on the www.
So I thought maybe some AUC alumni would like to remember what they were singing out loud as a replacement to National Anthems or for some as an addenda to their own set of beliefs. I decided to go to AUC and try to find out where could I find it.
I tried the bookshop. It wasn't available. I then went to the Alumni office where I found that text I was looking for but also I found out about a story that I cannot confirm or deny. It seems the Alma mater was not part of the graduation ceremonies during some years. Could not find out the exact dates when this was not sung but it seems to me it was discarded sometime towards the end of the 50's and came back slightly changed in the mid to late 70's.
The big change was that "We" replaced "Men" in the text. There must have been some more changes, but I unfortunately could not find out anymore details.

i'd like to take a vehicle insurance business to small claims court? The insurance business declined my claim, (I would go ahead and take to blame driver to small claims however I've no address to serve them or send a demand letter). The opposite driver was at fault however his insurer states that there can be a difference with our statements so they have to take the word of their insured vs. my word. It is my opinion they acted in negative faith and did not execute a proper investigation would this be a valid claim in small claims court? I wish to use the the culprit drivers insurer (not my own) to small claims for any damages to my car.
I wanted to post you a little bit of observation to finally say thanks yet again relating to the pleasant tips you have featured above. This is so wonderfully generous with you in giving without restraint just what a number of us could have offered as an electronic book in making some profit for themselves, most importantly given that you might well have done it if you desired. The thoughts in addition worked like a great way to understand that some people have the same desire similar to my very own to understand whole lot more on the subject of this problem. I am certain there are a lot more enjoyable occasions up front for people who looked over your site.
I love this game :)
