Whittier College Alma Mater
When the dews of eve are falling,
Glistening on the campus loved so well,
Then our hearts to thee are calling
Dear old Whittier we love so well.
Our hearts belong to thee forever;
They thrill with love for thee most dear.
Our loyalty fades never,
We’ll be ever true to Whittier.
When the moonlight sheds its splendor
And the students ever come and go,
There we roam in rapture tender,
In the evening’s mellow golden glow.
Words by Elwin Little and Marjorie (Little) Major
Music based on Hawaiian song “Una Like Noa Like (Sweet Constancy)”
