6 ADDRESS "Finding your truth...and capturing the salamander" Michael F. Curtin '86 COLLEGE SONG The Williams Convocation Brass Ensemble THE MOUNTAINS Washington Gladden, O, proudly rise the monarchs of our mountain land, With their kingly forest robes to the sky, Where Alma Mater dwelleth with her chosen band, And the peaceful river floweth gently by. The mountains! the mountains! We greet them with a song, Whose echoes rebounding their woodland heights along, Shall mingle with anthems that winds and fountains sing, Till hill and valley gaily, gaily ring. 2. Beneath their peaceful shadows may old Williams stand, Till the suns and mountains never more shall be, The glory and the honor of our mountain land, And the dwelling of the gallant and the free. BENEDICTION Sharif Rosen Muslim Chaplain
