Dear Old P. U.
By C. E. Bradley, Class of 1897
While yet the West was in knee pants and Siwash stalked the deer
Among the very oaks where now there rings the college cheer,
A seed of knowledge tree was bro't by winds of heaven true.
It burst its shell in '48 and sprouted old P. U.,
and sprouted old P. U.
Among the very oaks where now there rings the college cheer,
A seed of knowledge tree was bro't by winds of heaven true.
It burst its shell in '48 and sprouted old P. U.,
and sprouted old P. U.
Chorus:
Dear old P. U., trusty and true, we hold thee as our Al-ma-ma.
Crimson and black ties never slack but neath the campus oaks our fancies draw.
Full many years, dear old P. U., the oak amid the oaks,
You've been a kindly shelter to youth; your beauties coax
To linger near you till you lend an inspiration new,
And may we never, never tire of cheering old P. U.
Dear old P. U., trusty and true, we hold thee as our Al-ma-ma.
Crimson and black ties never slack but neath the campus oaks our fancies draw.
Full many years, dear old P. U., the oak amid the oaks,
You've been a kindly shelter to youth; your beauties coax
To linger near you till you lend an inspiration new,
And may we never, never tire of cheering old P. U.

ALBANY COLLEGE
In the early 50's Presbyterian pioneers founded Albany Academy, which, in accordance with the genesis of the times, next became Albany Institute and then, in 1867, Albany College.
The Orange and the Black
Adapted by C. E. Sox, Class of 1891, and J. C. Irvine, Class of 1892
Though Eugene has always favored the lemon color bright,
And Corvallis men and maidens hail the orange with delight,
We will float our banner proudly, nor honor shall it lack,
While old Albany stands defender of the Orange and the Black.
We will float our banner proudly, nor honor shall it lack,
While old Albany stands defender of the Orange and the Black.
And Corvallis men and maidens hail the orange with delight,
We will float our banner proudly, nor honor shall it lack,
While old Albany stands defender of the Orange and the Black.
We will float our banner proudly, nor honor shall it lack,
While old Albany stands defender of the Orange and the Black.
