Our Song
O Barber-Scotia, our Alma Mater Dear
To thee we sing;
Cherished both far and near,
Thy mandates we revere,
Our tributes we will bring,
Alma Mater Dear.
O Barber-Scotia, our Alma Mater Dear,
Thy Name we love;
Thou art our guiding star;
And though we wander far
Thy glory beams above,

We honor Thee;
Point us the path of right
That leads into the light
Of noble service free,
