"MINNESOTA, HAIL TO THEE" Minnesota, Hail to Thee,
Hail to thee, our college dear; Thy light shall ever be
A beacon bright and clear; Thy sons and daughters true
Will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame And adore thy name;
Thou shalt be their Northern Star.
Like the stream that bends to sea, Like the pine that seeks the blu~;
Minnesota, still for thee Thy sons are strong and true.
From their woods and waters fair; From their prairies waving far,
At thy call they throng With a shout and song,
Hailing thee, their Northern Star.
