Alma Mater
(to the tune of Old Harvard)

As Tarkio Students, our tribute we bring,
In praise of our college, so dear
Our hearts with devotion and constancy flame,
As we wish her the best of good cheer.
Our mistress in knowledge, the guide of our days,
As lore of the ancients we seek;
She hold a fond place in the depths of our hearts,
And a lasting allegiance shall keep.

She rules like a queen with a scepter of light,
Imparting a message of life.
A spirit of honor, a spirit of truth,
A spirit of peace, not of strife.
She calls on her sons, and her daughters each one
To live and to serve in her name.
Their devotion to God, and their service to men,
Fulfill all her longing for fame.
