Welcome to the first online edition of the Pegasus! Created and published for the students of Washington College.
Dedication:
We dedicate this project to the Board of Publications for conceiving of and making possible the new medium of the Pegasus. Without the Board’s help and support, Washington College’s yearbook would not exist.
Alma Mater:
“Old Washington”
By the gleaming, blue Chester River
On the Maryland Eastern Shore
Stands a glorious Alma Mater
Whose name we will ever adore.
‘Tis a name that shone high in glory
When our country, her freedom won.
And our College alone was the first one to own
To the fair name of Washington.
Refrain
So Washington, Old Washington
Our Washington we do adore
We will fight for her honor
As her sons and daughters have before.
So Washington, Old Washington
Our Washington forever more,
She’s our dear Alma Mater,
On the old Eastern Shore.
Just as Washington was the foremost
Both in honor and peace and war,
So our College is foremost ever
To honor the name that he bore.
And where’er her children may wander,
She can trust ev’ry loyal one,
For we’ll bring her no shame, but be true to her name,
To the fair name of Washington.
Refrain
— by C. L. Atwater, 1926, arr. Garry E. Clarke, 1995
