THE OATH
<—»
Walter E. Clark, President Emeritus
University of Nevada
I, about to be graduated from the University of Nevada,
ACKNOWLEDGING
my great debt to the Giver of all life, Who has given me life in
Nevada, the State whose people are most blest with pioneering
strengths and whose land, of all America, is freshest from His
hand, and most truly His cathedral, with mountain columns, star
vaults and sage-incensed aisles, hourly urging me to reverent
thinking and living,
ACKNOWLEDGING
my great debt to the race, which has made me heir to civilization,
wrought out by its centuries of toil and of thought and preserved
by the bravery of its heroes, the wisdom of its sages and the
faith of its saints,
ACKNOWLEDGING
my great debt to this Nation and to this Commonwealth, which
through guardian organization and through open school doors,
have jointly made it possible for me to come into the full riches
of my natural and my racial inheritances,
HERE AND NOW PLEDGE
Life-long Loyalty to the shaping ideals of American civilization:
Liberty, bounded by law drawn for the common weal,
Equality, of opportunity for all, and
Justice, administered in accord with the dictates of the common
will, lawfully expressed.
I HERE AND NOW FURTHER PLEDGE
that in all the years to be granted to me and to the fullness of
my allotted strength, I SHALL SERVE, both alone and with
others, to the high ends that uncleanness, greed, selfishness
and pride shall lessen, that cleanness, charity, comradeship and
reverence shall widen and that this, my generation, shall
equeath an even better and nobler civilization than came to it.

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plainl
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining seal
O beautiful for heroes prov'd in liberating strife,
Who more than self their country lov'd, and mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam undimm'd by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining seal
" T H E S T A R - S P A N G L E D B A N N E R "

Oh! say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
Oe r the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, and bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there!
Oh, say, does the star-spangled banner yet wave
O er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
