University of Miami Alma Mater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Miami Alma Mater, titled Alma Mater: Stand Forever, is the official alma mater of the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.[1][2]
The words were written by William Seth Lampe, a newspaper reporter and public relations assistant to Bowman Foster Ashe, the first president of the University of Miami,[3] with music by pianist Christine Asdurian, one of 646 students enrolled at the University of Miami in its first academic year of 1926–27.[4]
Since then, the alma mater has been sung by fans at Miami Hurricanes sporting events,[5] performed at University of Miami Commencement exercises,[6] university presidential inaugurations,[7] and performed at other major University of Miami events.[8]
