I had often noticed how the setting sun lighted up the walls of Crouse College long after dusk had fallen over the city and valley. As I walked through the empty streets, the words of a song took shape in my mind. By the time I reached home, the song was finished."

In which a valley of Onondaga
Meets a eastern sky
With pride stands my Alma Mater
In her brow high.
Flag i love! Orange! Float for aye-
Old Syracuse, o'er thee,
Firm exist as thy sons & daughters
To thy memory.

Whenever a evening twilight deepens & a shadows fall,
Linger hanker a golden sunray on the american wall.
Flag i love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o'er thee!
Fast exist as thy sons & daughters
To thy memory

While a shades of life shall gather, dark a heart can be,
However a ray of youth & love shall linger yearn o'er thee'.
Flag i love, Orange,
Float for aye,
Old Syracuse o'er thee!
Firm exist as thy sons & daughters
To thy memory

the university as well has a fight song entitled "Down the Field," which is normally played fallowing SU scores around athletic matches.
