Fight Song
Composed by Virgil Lawyer. The tune was "borrowed" from what was then North Texas State University (now UNT). George Baggett was the band director who made the first arrangement.
Go, Harding Bisons, Go, Bisons, fight!
Fight on to victory!
Proud of our name, we'll win this game
For Black and Gold, you'll see!
Go, Harding Bisons, Go, Bisons, fight!
Fight on to victory!
Surrender never, fight onward ever,
Proud of our team we'll be.
Alma Mater
Lyrics by Florence M. Cathcart and Music by Lloyd O. Sanderson
(1) Near the foothills of the Ozarks,
Midst of hill and plain;
Stands our glorious Alma Mater;
Harding is her name.
Sing the Chorus! Shout it Loudly!
Echoing through the vale.
Hail to thee, beloved Harding!
Alma Mater Hail!
(2) Christian standard is her Motto;
Christian life is stressed;
And in every branch of learning
Each one does his best.
Sing the Chorus! Shout it Loudly!
Echoing through the vale.
Hail to thee, beloved Harding!
Alma Mater Hail!
(3) Harding opens wide her portals,
Thus inviting all
Who would tread the path to knowledge;
Heed then to her call.
Sing the Chorus! Shout it Loudly!
Echoing through the vale.
Hail to thee, beloved Harding!
Alma Mater Hail!
