'Tis the Season

Where the Truckee's snow-fed waters
Drop from the mountain's crest
And the meadows meet the sagebrush
By the sun caressed
Cradled by the silver mountains
'Neath the Western Blue
Stands our noble alma mater
Our Nevada U

As the miner on the desert
Prospects every place
So Nevada seeks the future
With an upturned face
Everywhere she gathers knowledge
All that's good and true
Gives she to her sons and daughters
Of Nevada U

We will ever live to serve her
Live to give our best
Live to make our alma mater
Pride of all the West
Let her praises wake the echoes
While we pledge anew
Hearts and minds and hands and voices
To Nevada U
