The first line of Alfred University's Alma Mater song is actually, really "Alfred, Alfred, mother of men."
Alfred, Alfred, mother of men!
We sang it and snickered and snickered again.
But the chemistry nerds made important components
For space ships and USA’s moon travel moments
While art students puttered with sculpture and pots
Some of it wonderful, some of it rot.
Many an artist received a good start
In Alfred’s ceramics department of art
At Alfred at Alfred, mother of men
Go right ahead, snicker, just like we did then.
