AIR —" Hail to the Chief." HAIL to the Star that is gleaming so brightly, Borne on our breasts as our ensign of pride, Fairer to us than the thousands, that nightly Through the high heavens in majesty ride. May it be ever bright, May its effulgent light Ever gleam on us and gladden our way. Star of our hope and love, Long mayst thou shine above! Hail to thee, fair one, bright star of our day I! Hail to the Crescent whose silvery glory Nightly grows broad on the zenith of fame; Long be it honored in song and in story, Aye be its followers proud of their name! Manly the breasts that bear Our crescent beaming fair; Warm are the hearts that are throbbing beneath. Ever our joyful song Ringeth forth clear and strong, Hail to thee, Crescent! shine on us till death! Crescent and Star! ye are emblems of brothers, Whose lives like the star, are resplendent and bright; Of a fraternity which among others, Shines like the moon'mid the jewels of night. Loved Alpha Delta Phi! Long may thy holy tie, Scholars and men in close sympathy bind. Bound in alliance strong, Ever we'll raise the song, Hail to thee! union of heart and of mind! H. L. BOLTWOoD, Amherst, 1853. 8 SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. VI. AIR —"Alubama Forever." LET us swell the glad song, till its echoes around us Fill the heart with its notes, and with gladness surround us; Till these walls'mid which pleasure so long has abounded, Shall ring with the shout and the chorus resounded. Hurrah! hurrah! Alpha Delta, forever! Hurrah! hurrah! Alpha Delta, forever! Our song is of triumph, victorious forever, With no rival to fear, defeat we know never; Our aim always upward, our progress advancing, Successes most perfect our glories enhancing. Hurrah! hurrah! etc. As the past has been golden, immortal in story, So the path of the future beams brilliant with glory; New honors are waiting, new beauties are o'er us, And the noon of our brightness yet opens before us. Hurrah hurrah! etc. Thus, bold and unconquered, shall triumphs elate us, And the bright course of glory undimmed shall await us; And brave Alpha Delta, bewitching as ever, Shall reign'mid her kindred a princess forever. Hurrah! hurrah! etc. Alpha Delta! Alpha Delta! heaven's blessing attend her, While we live, we will cherish, protect, and defend her; Our hearts swell with gladness whenever we name her, And Queen of our thoughts we will ever proclaim her. Hurrah hurrah! etc. W. W. CRAPO, Yale, 1852. SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. 9 loftI ge in {Te l 1ub ~uLR+ AIR —"Scots wha hae." Roll ye on the loud huzza, See arise yon orient Star Born to spread the name afar Of Alpha Delta Phi I Lo its radiant glories stand Brightest of our native land, Guiding on the mystic band Of Alpha Delta Phi!

Hail! all hail! thou glorious dawn I Welcome thrice auspicious morn; Ignorance dies, and truth is born In Alpha Delta Phi!

BENEATH our hallowed crescent glow Warm hearts that drink life new and high, From yon fixed star, whose beams o'erflow The shrine of Alpha Delta Phi. Chorus-Of Delta Phi, of Delta Phi! We love the shrine of Delta Phi! Here Science borrows Fancy's wing, And Romance looks through Reason's eye; Here Genius learns to toil, and sing The songs of cheerful industry. Chorus-Of Delta Phi, of Delta Phi, We love the songs of Delta Phi! Here friendship, wit, and genial mirth Banish with sunshine hours of gloom; And when life meets its last of earth, Fond Memory decorates the tomb.

THE Star and Crescent bright Forever in our sky, Beam with a mild celestial light On Alpha Delta Phi. The lingering forms of pleasures fled, May cause all other hearts to sigh; But pure and noble joys are ours, In Alpha Delta Phi. There is a chain which draws, Our hearts in friendship nigh; It is the secret, golden bond Of Alpha Delta Phi. Here Art and Genius both unite, To lift our aims and motives high; A light to cheer the scholar's heart Is Alpha Delta Phi. The laurel wreath of fame Upon her brow shall lie; While victory shall crown the name Of Alpha Delta Phi. In after-years though we may part, We'll ne'er forget the sacred tie That binds us closely heart to heart —'Tis Alpha Delta Phi. GEO. S. BISHOP, Amherst. 12 SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. X. Iknn {>e Qatlttlr ftart. AIR —-" My lodging is on the cold ground." WHEN the earnest heart turneth in sorrow away From the friends that allure to deceive, And findeth no heart-love its own to repay, Alpha Delta its want will relieve. For the trustful and strong here may fellowship find, Where refinement with manliness blends; While around her dear altar our pledges we bind, That true hearts shall ne'er fail of true friends. Here, too, may the scholar his young ardor bring, Whether genius or talent his share, And in Science rise proudly on resolute wing, Or in Romance weave tapestries rare. Whatever their gifts, whatever their skill, All they to whom honor is dear, Alpha Delta will welcome, with hearty good will, To a brotherhood kind and sincere. So with love and with songs Alpha Delta we crown, Alpha Delta, the genial and pure, And the years as they roll shall add strength and renown, While Learning and Friendship endure. Then brothers huzza I for the Crescent and Star, May their mild lustre never grow dim, Till all noble spirits, both near and afar, Shall join in the glorious hymn. S. S. GARDNER, Bowdoin, 1855. SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. 13 XI. itubrt llf's 6irr. TuNE-" Pirate's Glee." SING on! sing on! we love the chorus That's joined by hearts so strong and true; The future, boys, is all before us, Its paths in glory we'll pursue. Above our beating hearts is gleaming The star whose pure beam lights our way, And still, o'er all our long path streaming, We see the Crescent's fadeless ray. Sing on! sing on! we well may glory In Alpha Delta's old renown, While countless tongues repeat her story, And countless hearts revere her crown. She lives! our hearts are hers forever I She fades not with the fading years I Her children will desert her never, Alike her own in smiles and tears. Sing on! sing on! it still is morning In Alpha Delta's summer day, All clouds of opposition scorning She brightens on her rising way. And still while on in life we're moving, And day by day we leave this hour, May Memory's record e'er be proving Old Alpha Delta's fadeless power. W. O. STODDARD, Rochester Chapter, 1858. 14 SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. XII. come all gt jo0U atvonts AIR —" Benny Havens." Come all ye jolly students, and join us in this song, And loudly swell the chorus, its joyous notes prolong.

We'll shout aloud thy praise; Thy sun the brightest in the sky, Shall shine through endless days. Our banners ne'er shall waver before the strongest foe, WTe'll always triumph over him, and ever mightier grow; We fear no frowning battlements, though towering mountain high, For victory's the Destiny of Alpha Delta Phi. BRUNONIAN. XIV. ji to i 4c. AIR-"Araby's Daughter." HAIL to thee, hail to thee, fair Alpha Delta, Our hearts' best affections are plighted to thee; Never was Troubadour's lady-love fairer, Nymph of the forest or maid of the sea. 16 SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. Chorus. Around thee we'll gather, while enemies threaten, Thy sons shall defend thee when danger is nigh; And far-distant shores shall reecho the paean, Long live Alma Mater and old Delta Phi! Although the world knows not the tie that unites us, And sees but the casket inclosing the gem; All honor the goddess whose tie so unites us, And envy the pleasures forbidden to them. Chorus. We'll cherish thee fondly till life's latest hour, And on our hearts' altar thine image enshrine; Sweet memories of thee will by age gather power Like the sparkling nectar of Italy's vine. Chorus. C. R. PALMER, Yale, 1855. XV. " fbaf 1Emiltisse" "A wet sheet and a flowing sea." FILL up the beaker to the brim On this our festal night, And clink each glass till its liquid rim Shall glow with sparkling light; "Nunc gaudeamus"-let each care Be banished from this hour: Old Time's gray locks once more shall wear The green sprig and the flower. Chorus. For we drink to the star whose beams still shine As in the days gone by, And we quaff the wine from the hearty vine Of Alpha Delta Phi. SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. 17 Not Old Falernian can compare, Nor juice of San Peray, With the blood of our grape so rich and rare, And its odorous bouquet; It has the true smack of the heart, The flavor of the soul, And it fires the veins with a subtler art Than the spell of the Lesbian bowl. Chorus. Then drink to the star whose beams still shine As in the days gone by, We quaff the wine from the glorious vine Of Alpha Delta Phi. There is no head-ache in this wine, No heart-ache in its lees, But beams divine through the liquor shine, And heaven-born charities; The graces of the mind which lend To life its charm and zest, And golden dreams and memories blend In the draught forever blest. Chorus. Then drink to the star whose beams still shine As in the days gone by, We quaff the wine from the fragrant vine Of Alpha Delta Phi. "Cras iterabimus iequor," Yet we will not forget That friendship which shall know no flaw, That star which ne'er shall set; The winds may pipe and clouds may pass Across Life's fitful sea, We'll crush the grape and clink the glass To the hours of memory. 18 SONGS OF ALPHA DELTA PHI. Chorus. Then drink to the star whose beams still shine As in the days gone by, We quaff the wine from the stout old vine Of Alpha Delta Phi. And when at last our hearts grow chill And turn to silent dust, We shall not die, for brave hearts still Shall keep the ancient trust; The vine shall wear its blooms of Spring, The star its radiance cast, And still to Memory's cup shall cling The'bees-wing of the past. Chorus. Then drink to the star whose beams still shine As in the days gone by, There is no wine like the juice of the vine Of Alpha Delta Phi. HENRY CLAY WHITAKER. XVI.
