THE ALMA MATERBy Gladys Ward McCullough Sapp ’46

Albany State, we dearly love you,Whose walls are inscribed with knowledge so true.

So solidly built on this foundation,A union of work and inspiration.

Teacher for those who strive for success;To thee we give praises above all the rest.

Thy jubilant colors of blue and goldWe’ll ever honor, ever behold;

Thy name is an anchor upon life’s sea.And sailing, we put our trust in thee.

In thee, dear school, we see all the best; To thee we give praises above all the rest.
