THE CREED, ALMA MATER, &  2 VERSIONS OF  "WAR EAGLE"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE AUBURN CREED
AUBURN UNIVERSITY'S ALMA MATER
On the rolling plains of Dixie
'Neath its sun-kissed sky,
Proudly stands, our Alma Mater
Banners high.

To thy name we'll sing thy priaise,
From hearts that love so true,
And pledge to thee our
Loyalty the ages through.

We hail thee Auburn, and we vow
To work for thy just fame,
And hold inmemoery as we do now
Thy Cherished name.

Hear thy student voices swelling,
Echoes strong and clear,
Adding laurels to they fame
Enshrined so dear.

From thy hallowed halls we'll part,
And bid thee sad adieu;
Thy sacred trust we'll bear with us
The ages through.

We hail thee Auburn, and we vow
To work for thy just fame,
And hold in memoery as we do now
Thy cherished name.

Bill Wood, Class of 1942
Revision 1960
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn.  Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid,  and in clean sports to develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness to all.

I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.

George Petrie

WAR EAGLE (VERSION 2)*
WAR EAGLE (VERSION 1)
War Eagle, fly down the field,
Ever to conquer, never to yield.
War Eagle, fearless and true.
Fight on you orange and blue.
Go! Go! Go!
On to victory, strike up the band
Give 'em hell, give 'em hell.
Stand up and yell, HEY!
War Eagle, win for Auburn
Power of Dixie Land!		 War Eagle, fly down the field,
Ever to conquer, never to yield.
War Eagle, fearless and true.
Fight on you orange and blue.
Go! Go! Go!
On to victory, strike up the band
Hit 'em high, Hit 'em low.*
Stand up and yell, HEY!
War Eagle, win for Auburn
Power of Dixie Land!
*this is a good version to teach the younger Tiger fan, whose parents or grandparents  might object to their sweet childs use of "Hell" in a song.
