Sturdy Pilgrim Fathers

When the land was young

Made the firm foundation

From which we have sprung.

Working on with courage,

Faith forbiding fear,

They have been remembered

These three hundred years.

Sturdy Pilgrim Fathers

When the land was young

Made the firm foundation

From which we have sprung.

Men have lived and labored

Under Harvard's name

Through their youth and after,

Building Harvard's fame.

And in future ages,

Mem'ry shall hold fast

All the old traditions

Gathered in the past--

Men have lived and labored

Under Harvard's name

Through their youth and after

Building Harvard's fame.

In the days hereafter,

Still we'll toast again

As we did in college,

"We are Harvard Men!"

When our numbers dwindle

As the years roll on,

When we've tasted triumph,

When our hopes have gone,

In the days hereafter,

Still we'll boast again

As we did in college,

"We are Harvard Men!"

C. C. Abbott '28, and C. F. Fawsett '28
