The University
[Verse 1]
Founded in the wilderness,
In eighteen-seventeen;
In excellence and strength it grew
Nourished by a dream.
[Chorus]
The University of Michigan;
The people said, "Be free to teach, to serve,
To probe the unknown;"
Our University.
[Verse 2]
Her children come from 'round the world,
To drink from freedom's spring,
Where art, where science, where truth's revealed
To those whose minds would sing.
[Chorus]
The University of Michigan;
The people said, "Be free to teach, to serve,
To probe the unknown;"
Our University.
[Verse 3]
She looks beyond today's pale light,
She seeks in fields diverse.
New knowledge found within her halls
Has changed the universe.
[Chorus]
