In January 1973, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s College Council selected the Osprey as the mascot after several rounds of voting over alternatives like Sandpipers and Clamdiggers.

Ospreys on Parade

Music by Bud Noble
Lyrics by Stephen Dunn
Adapted by J. Sramaty

Let us travel in the footsteps of those who came before:

Here on our campus in the pines, knowledge opens every door.

And when we go marching out into the world beyond our ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ;

At ease with what we learned our future has begun.

Knowledge leads to knowledge and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ shows the way.

Oh, let us be among those for whom ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ leads the way;

Oh, let us proudly strive, to be examples day by day.
