Beyond Chapel, student groups formed to sing and strengthen community bonds. The first, the Men\u2019s Glee Club, was established in 1873.\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"desctext\">\n<h2 id=\"alma-mater\" class=\"exhibits-chapter-title\"><span class=\"exhibits-page-title\">Alma Mater<\/span><\/h2>\n\u201cFlag we love! Orange!\u201d wrote Junius Stevens, Class of 1895, and author of the Alma Mater of Syracuse University. The Alma Mater was first sung in public on March 15, 1893, by the University Glee and Banjo Club in a concert at the Wieting Opera House in Syracuse. In the spring of 1986, the line &#8220;May thy sons be leal and loyal&#8221; was changed to &#8220;Loyal be thy sons and daughters&#8221; to be more inclusive and to reflect that Syracuse University has always been coeducational. Members of the University community uphold a special tradition whenever they sing the Alma Mater. With those lyrics, they proudly embrace the past and strengthen the University\u2019s identity for future generations of the Orange family.\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"exhibits-media-card exhibits-media-card-left\">\n<div class=\"exhibits-media-card-media\">\n\n<script type='text\/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(function(){var viewer=OpenSeadragon({id: 'deepzoomContainer0',prefixUrl:'https:\/\/digitalexhibits.syr.edu\/su150\/wp-content\/plugins\/zoom-openseadragon\/images\/',collectionRows:false,collectionColumns:3,showNavigationControl:true,showZoomControl:true,showHomeControl:true,showFullPageControl:true,showRotationControl:false,showSequenceControl:true,sequenceMode:false,showReferenceStrip:false,showNavigator:true,navigatorId:\"\",navigatorPosition:'TOP_RIGHT',referenceStripSizeRatio:0.2,referenceStripScroll:'horizontal',referenceStripPosition:'BOTTOM_LEFT',tileSources: [{title:'test',tileSource:'\/data\/su150\/ch2\/sua_stevens_j_00001_exhibit.dzi'}]});\n\tviewer.curItem=viewer.initialPage;\n\tviewer.curZoom=viewer.initialPage;\n\t\n\tviewer.goTo = function(index) {  \/\/ zoom on specific resource from those on screen             \n\t     this.curItem=index;    \n\t     if (this.sequenceMode) this.goToPage(this.curItem);\n\t     else this.viewport.fitBounds(this.world.getItemAt(this.curItem).getBounds());\n\t     this.curZoom=this.curItem;  \n       \n\t}\n\tviewer.hitTest = function(position) { \/\/ return resource under cursor\n\t    var box;\n\t    var count = this.world.getItemCount();\n\t    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {\n\t        box = this.world.getItemAt(i).getBounds();\n\t        if (position.x > box.x && \n\t                position.y > box.y && \n\t                position.x < box.x + box.width &&\n\t                position.y < box.y + box.height) {\n\t            return i;\n\t        }\n\t    }\n\t\n\t    return -1;\n\t}\n\tviewer.showMeta = function (i) \n\t       {                        \n\t       if (i!=-1) {\n\t           var title=this.tileSources[i].title;\n\t           if (title!='') jQuery('#deepzoomCaption0').html(title);\t          \n\t          }\n\t      \n\t       }\n\tviewer.addHandler('page', function (data) {\n\t   viewer.showMeta(data.page);\n\t  \n\t});\n\tviewer.addHandler('canvas-click', function(event) {\n\t    if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) return;\n\t                       \n\t    var index = viewer.hitTest(viewer.viewport.pointFromPixel(event.position));   \n\t    if ((index !== -1)&&(index!=viewer.curZoom)) {\n\t        event.preventDefaultAction = true;\n\t        viewer.goTo(index); \n\t        viewer.showMeta(index);                         \n\t    }\n\t\n\t});\n\t\n    \n        if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) viewer.showMeta(viewer.initialPage);\n   \n\t\n\t\n\t});<\/script><figure  style='width: 360px' class='wp-caption alignnone'><div class='deepzoomContainer' id='deepzoomContainer0' style='width: 360px; height: 400px;'><\/div><figcaption id='deepzoomCaption0' class='wp-caption-text'><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"exhibits-media-card-text\">\n\n<b>Syracuse University Alma Mater, handwritten by Junius Stevens, Class of 1895, circa 1893. <a href=\"https:\/\/library.syr.edu\/digital\/guides_sua\/html\/sua_stevens_j.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Junius Woods Stevens Collection, University Archives<\/a>.
