THE INAUGURATION ON THE SOUTH PLAZA 
Led by the College Choir, the audience standing joined in 
singing : 
“Denison’’ Vinton Ernest Field, A.B,, ’03 
To Denison, we raise our song*, 
Fair college on the hill, 
The name that sets our souls on fire. 
And makes our senses thrill. 
To Denison, my Denison, 
In praise our voices swell. 
The scenes of happy college days. 
The Home we love so well. 
Oh morning glow, which guilds the east. 
Oh sun which shines at noon. 
Oh stars which bloom at eventide. 
Oh radiant glowing moon. 
Look from the pathless, azure dome. 
Shed blessings from above, 
On college halls and college walls. 
The Denison we love. 
And when the shadows softly fall, 
O’er hills and valleys dear, 
Across the college campus rings 
The melody so clear; 
The circling hills throw back again 
The glad inspiring song. 
And in our hearts to Denison, 
Our praises we prolong. 
When from the fold we far shall stray. 
With souls no longer young. 
We’ll ne’er forget our college days, 
These happy scenes among;
