The Pole is Found at Last!
Air-"Phi Chi."
Swing out the flag of Bowdoin, boys, the Pole is found at last;
Bring out the wine in plenty-a toast in every glass;
Bring out the sturdy sledges that have served him in the past-
For Peary's in his new-found glory.
CHORUS
Hurrah! Hurrah ! Hurrah! for Bob and Dan;
Hurrah! Hurrah! each one a Bowdoin man;
They suffered, struggled on, and made-the Pole, an "also-ran"
Bowdoin-Americans in glory.
No mother earth beneath him, a snowdrift for his bed,
The icy cold around him and a hummock for his head;
But these were only pleasures when he saw the Pole ahead-
And Peary's in his new-found glory.
Chorus-Hurrah! Hurrah! etc.
Old Bowdoin's given the greatest men America has known;
She's nursed the greatest writers and statesmen of renown;
But the greatest thing in modern days was when the Pole went down-
With Peary in his new-found glory.
CHORUS-Hurrah! Hurrah etc.
Charles R. Carter, '09
