Alma Mater
by H.W. Jones, class of 1888

I know a spot that I love full well,
'Tis not in forest nor yet in dell;
Ever it holds me with magic spell,
I think of thee, Alma Mater.

K-S-U, we'll carry thy banner high.
K-S-U, long, long may thy colors fly.
Loyal to thee, thy children will swell the cry.
Hail, Hail, Hail, Alma Mater.

The alma mater was selected as a result of a campus contest in 1903 and was written by Humphrey W. Jones, class of 1888. His original work was three stanzas plus the chorus. His version was later altered by changing the words from KSAC to KSU. 

K-State Fight Song
by Harry E. Erickson, class of 1927

Fight, you K-State Wildcats
For Alma Mater Fight-Fight-Fight!
Glory in the combat
For the purple and the white,

Faithful to our colors,
We will ever be,
Fighting ever fighting for a 
Wildcat Victory!
Go State!

The Fight Song, "Wildcat Victory," was written in 1927 by Harry E. Erickson '27. John Philip Sousa dedicated "Kansas Wildcats," the K-State march, in 1931. The K-State Alumni Association celebrated the 90th anniversary of the song in 2017.
