Alma Mater Iowa is the alma mater hymn for the University of Iowa. The lyrics were written by Gene Mills - a graduate of the university's College of Engineering in 1947 and the melody of the song was composed in 1960

Lyrics

Come all alums of Iowa, and blend your voices true; Sing praises to our Alma Mater, as good Hawkeyes do. Let's keep within our hearts a fire to magnify her fame; Bring credit to these noble halls where glory and honor reign. The day is near when comrades here will bid farewell and part; But each Hawkeye carries on, thy spirit in his heart. Oh! Iowa, Iowa, we drink a toast to you; We pledge our everlasting love for dear old Iowa U. Alma Mater, Iowa.
