End-of-Year Message: For Dear Old F&M
Video by Andrew BilindabagaboFor Dear Old F&M
As we transition into 2024, we celebrate this campus stretching long and all those who’ve gone before. Year after year, Diplomats give the world our service. The next generation follows in your footsteps.
Thank you for always holding a special place in your heart for dear old F&M.
Wishing you love and light in the year to come.
Alma Mater
We hail thee, Alma Mater,
Our gallant White and Blue
With one accord,
In deed and word,
As sons and daughters true;
We honor thy traditions
And those who've gone before
In weal and woe, to thee shall flow
Our hearts forever more.
We love each hall and building
Thy campus stretching long,
Thy tower and bell,
With solemn knell
That call to work and song;
We'll give the world our service,
But ever like a gem,
Our hearts shall hold a love untold
For dear old F and M.
