The celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its founding as Queens College, 1766-1916 . e center of the tableau and thepageant closes with the singing of the ^*Star SpangledBanner,^ the audience joining in the singing. THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER Oh, say can you see, by the dawns early so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro the perilous fight,Oer the ramparts we watchd were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof thro the night that our flag was still I say does that star spangled banner yet waveOer the land of the free, and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen thro the mists of the the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,What is that which the breeze, oer the towering it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam,In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: Tis the star spangled banner; oh, long may it waveOer the land of the free and the home of the FRIDAY, OCTOBER THIRTEENTH 85 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battles confusion A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave; And the star spangled banner in triumph doth waveOer the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall standBetween their loved home and wild wars desolation;Blest with victry and peace, may the heavn-rescued landPraise the Powr that hath made and preserved us a nation!Then conquer we must when our cause is so just,And this be our motto: ^ * In God is our trust 1And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave.
