—And Michigan Rules the WestI remember the stand at Thermopylae The Greek Guard made one day; I remember the legions Caesar used To shatter the Gallic sway; And I remember across the years Two banners that crowned the crest, When Dartmouth was king in the con quered East And Michigan ruled the West!
At night in my humble den I dream Of the glories that used to be, Of Hannibal striking the Alpine trail, Of Drake on the open sea; And then I wander the ancient way To the dream that I love best When Dartmouth was king in the conquered East And Michigan ruled the West!
Today my dream is a living thing, That dream that I loved best, For Dartmouth is king in the conquered East And Michigan rules the West!
