Ah! Well I Remember, Friends of “Purple and Gold.”
Friends met in September, Pledging their Faith to hold.
Gone, Friends of September, Gone dear friends of old.
Time never shall sever, Friends of “Purple and Gold.”
Time never shall sever, Friends of “Purple and Gold.”

The university's heritage
Sen. J. W. McCreery
June 13, 1890
At the ceremony to lay the cornerstone
“...the foundation of an institution more durable than the material of the building has been established. ... we have the promise and earnest of a high-minded and intelligent citizenship and of a general diffusion of knowledge among the people. …We have faith that when the narrow niche of time in which we stand has been lost; when the political bickerings amid which the labor has been performed, have passed into oblivion; when our own places and the personal relations which we have borne to the founding of this institution have long been forgotten, the intellectual, moral, and spiritual influence set in motion by the institution which we founded will continue to go on, increasing in power and glory, until time shall end.”
