Fair Dillard,
Gleaming white and spacious green,
We love thy every blade and tree.
We love thy breathless days, thy nights serene,
Thy halls where men are men and free.
Arise, O sons and daughters, hail thy queen,
And pledge for aye, thy loyalty.
Fair Dillard,
Flaming love and learning’s light,
Teach us each day, each passing hour.
A deep’ning love for beauty, truth and right.
Source of all nobleness and pow’r.
And, through the joyous day, the dreaded night,
Forever guide, Alma Mater!
Forever guide, Alma Mater!
