ALL TOGETHER NOW ...

Deans Greg Prince and Marysa Navarro

New first verse, submitted to the student publication Common Sense. Princeand Navarro suggest that those who prefer the old version could continue to singit alongside the revision.

We of Dartmouth, give a rouse For the college on the hill! For the lone pine above her, And the loyal ones who love her, Give a rouse, give a rouse with a will! For the students of old Dartmouth, The sturdy ones of Dartmouth, Through 'round the girdled earth they roam, Her spell on them remains; They have the still North in their hearts, The hill-winds in their veins, And the granite of New Hampshire In their muscles and their brains.

Frank T. Williams '29

New first verse. Williams sent this version in to the Alumni Ad Hoc Committeeon the Alma Mater with the addendum: "Please note that through the miracle ofbloodless surgery I have removed the granite from the brains of all Dartmouthpeople."

Dartmouth sons and daughters arise, For the College on the hill, For the lone pine above her, And the loyal souls who love her. Give a rouse, give a rouse with a will. For we love dear old Dartmouth, Our Alma Mater, Dartmouth, Though round the girdled earth we roam Her spell on us remains. We have the still North in our hearts, The snow drifts in our dreams, And the beauty of the campus, Is a vision rarely seen.

Josiah Hill '56:

New first verse: Hill sent this in to the alumni committee.

Now for Dartmouth, give a rouse For the college on the hill! For the Lone Pine above her, And the loyal ones who love her, Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will! For the sons of old Dartmouth, And the daughters of old Dartmouth, Though round the girdled earth they roam, Her spell on them remains, They have the still North in their hearts, The hill-winds in their veins, And the granite of New Hampshire In their muscles and their brains.

Orton Hicks '21

Third verse. The first is to remain the same as the original.

Here's to Dartmouth give a rouse Lest the old traditions fail! Stand as sister stands by brother! Dare a deed for the old Mother! Greet the world, from the hills, with a hail! For daughters of old Dartmouth, And sons of old Dartmouth, Around the world they keep for her Their old chivalric faith; They have the still North in their soul, The hill-winds in their breath; And the granite of New Hampshire Is made part of them till death.

Ronald Green

Third verse. Green, Phillips Professor of Religion, sent this into The Dartmouth.

Dartmouth women, set a watch Lest the old traditions fail! Stand as sister stands by brother! Dare a deed for the old Mother! Greet the world, from the hills, with a hail! For the daughters of old Dartmouth, And the loyal sons of Dartmouth, Around the world they keep for her The old chivalric faith; They have the still North in their soul, The hill-winds in their breath; And the granite of New Hampshire Is made part of them till death.

Cobra

In 1980, Cobra, a secret society for women, submitted a fourthverse to the trustees. During commencement that same year,the verse was sung between the first and third verses of theoriginal. (The second verse is traditionally sung only at wartime.)

Men and women sing as one For the college we all love! Stand as sister stands by brother, Give a hand to one another, Build a dream in the North to endure! In the family of old Dartmouth, Our family of old Dartmouth, When all the leaves of red have fall'n To winter fires draw near. Then feel the magic of the spring 'Til summer warms the year, And the friendships made at Dartmouth We'll all treasure and hold dear.

Maestoso Dartmouth sons arid daugh-ters arise, For the col-lege on the hill . . .

Maestoso Men and wo-men sing as one (sing as one,) For the col-lege we all love . . .

Some men and women of Dartmouth have risento the task of rewriting the alma mater—withmixed results. Here are a few versions.
