Seton Hall University Alma Mater

The Seton Hall University Alma Mater was adopted as the official song of Seton Hall University during the middle twentieth century.
Charles A. Byrne of the class of 1937 wrote the original lyrics during 1936, and the university adopted the alma mater during the 1937 school year when the Dean read it.
Text of the Alma Mater
To Alma Mater all be loyal,

keep her name in purest light.

Never waver from her precepts,

guard her banner blue and white.

O sing her praise to highest skies

and be ye faithful in her eyes,

for she will foster all your dreams,

her name is Seton Hall.

When on life's hard stones you stumble,

pray to God to be your guide.

Think of Seton Hall your mother,

then forge on in steady stride.

O sing her praise to highest skies,

and be ye faithful in her eyes,

for she will foster all your dreams,

her name is Seton Hall.

Tradition During the Alma Matter
*Student make their own swords to swing around during the alma mater
*Some students yell "blue and white" about twice as loud as the rest of the alma mater
