BUFFALO STATE ALMA MATER
OUR FINEST HOUR

A toast to State, to all the days,
All the laughter, all the tears.
You have made our friendships great,
We'll triumph through the years.
With hope anew we'll face the storm
Beyond which stands your lofty tower -
That will be our finest hour.
In years to come we'll look to thee,
Yearning for your guiding light.
You'll not fail us, Alma Mater,
Keep us through the night.
When darkness comes and all hope dies,
You will give us strength and power -
That will be our finest hour.
L. Harry Ray, '51
