 OUNDER’S CENTENARY HYMN 
 
 /T\ 
 
 
M 
 
 From the ranks our Founder great 
 Rose, and led the generous van; 
 Helpt the city, served the State, 
 
 Made the lightning slave to man. 
 Cold to stranger, warm to friends— 
 
 V 
 
 Dauntless heart, prophetic soul— 
 Wealth he sought for noble ends, 
 And self was ne’er his goal. 
 
 Learning, long for him delayed, 
 Fain would he make free to all; 
 Creed nor sex his bounty stayed, 
 Nations answered to his call. 
 Patient, tolerant and wise, 
 
 Labored he with failing breath; 
 Died, as every hero dies, 
 
 Still faithful unto death 
 
 Oh Corjiellians, u True and Firm ” ! 
 
 Note his motto’s grand intent; 
 Make his work of yours the germ; 
 
 Be your lives his monument. 
 Why he is to you endeared 
 Sound aloud in every clime, 
 That his name may be revered 
 Until the end of time.
