School Song
A rendition of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology school
fight song as recorded by the Rose-Hulman chorus.

 

Dear Old Rose
The sweetest flower that grows
Here's to your colors rose and white
Here's to the ones who've kept them bright.
Colors true for those who honor you
Here's to everything you've done,
Here's to every fight you've won.
Dear old Rose.
 

The Rose-Hulman Chorus performs the school's "Alma Mater." The late Raymond Mech wrote the music. His son, Andrew Mech, professor of mechanical engineering at Rose-Hulman, penned the lyrics.

Here in central Indiana

is the school we know is best.

Rose-Hulman, Yes, our Alma Mater

far surpasses all the rest.

Sing her glories and her praises

in every way she does excel.

Rose-Hulman, you're our Alma Mater

our Alma Mater loved so well.

Rose did more than set foundations

for the work that was to come.

The people here became as family;

Rose became another home.

Though we live at quite a distance

and time has passed since our farewell,

Rose-Hulman you have grown yet dearer

our Alma Mater loved so well.
