Words by Tom Isern, Music by Joseph Ott

Shall we exalt our University True to our forebears and posterity?Our finest efforts we shall yield In classroom, concert, lab and field -And cheers for ESU

Shall we remember in our future years Bold shouts of victory or sentimental tears?Then shall the memories abound; We made these hallowed halls resound -With cheers for ESU With cheers for ESU

ACADEMIC DRESS

Academic Dress evolved from caps and gowns worn in the medieval universities. The academic gown is the basic garment of attire, and by tradition, it is black for all degrees and ranks. The square cap or mortarboards are a prescribed part of academic dress and are all distinctive. Accompanying the gowns are hoods, which are lined with silk in the official colors or color of the institution conferring the degree and which are bordered in the color representing the discipline of learning. The disciplines and respective colors are:
