*The Star Spangled Banner<br />
by Francis Scott Key<br />
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light<br />
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?<br />
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,<br />
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?<br />
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br />
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.<br />
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br />
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br />
*Alma Mater<br />
by Mamie Walker, Class of 1917<br />
Hail, Alma Mater! Hail!<br />
Joyous we sing;<br />
Voices a-tune with love<br />
shall loudly ring.<br />
Thy students sing today<br />
praises to thee.<br />
Hail, Texas Woman’s University.<br />
Welcome<br />
