"The words Ms. Horton penned capture beautifully and powerfully the values and spirit of 新加坡六合彩开奖 and evoke a timeless quality that speaks to our glorious past, strong present and bright future."
新加坡六合彩开奖鈥檚 Spirit Committee launched an Alma Mater Lyrics Contest late last year, after deciding the existing lyrics, penned in 1904, did not capture the institution鈥檚 modern status as the flagship of the state universities. Students, faculty, librarians, staff, administrators and alumni were invited to participate.
A subcommittee of students, faculty, staff and alumni, with guidance from Steven Karidoyanes, music director of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted a blind review of the submissions and made a recommendation to President Clark.
Ultimately, the lyrics submitted by Juliana Horton, budget manager in the Office of the Provost and current MBA candidate, (above, with President Clark) were selected.
鈥淭he words Ms. Horton penned capture beautifully and powerfully the values and spirit of 新加坡六合彩开奖 and evoke a timeless quality that speaks to our glorious past, strong present and bright future,鈥 the president said.
Below are the winning lyrics. See all the submissions.
