Ferris State University Poem

From Alma Mater Vol. 1: The Midwest. Available Now!

*Ferris State University*

Woodbridge Nathan Ferris founded this school so that our students can graduate with promise fulfilled and a handed-down oath to endeavor to continue educating Michigan.
Renovated guides of learning who have mastered in our campus’ green spaces; and these small-town renovations will tour this world to see their own innovations.
From the tutelage of Nathan Ferris we have learned to neither be optimists nor pessimists, but meliorists who have learned that in this modern age: Time and distance indeed have been annihilated, and
Since there is less progress to be made,
There’s all the more progress to be made.
We must journey together as savages of mental hunger,

Ravenous Dogs

Feeding on the crimson sunsets of Big Rapids
with mellow gold beauty along the White Pine Trails.
Taking the Riverwalk to stroll aside the oblique currents of the
crisp Muskegon River.
This is nature at its finest, and Ferris State University’s finest
can meet in this security with all of Michigan and beyond—
And tour again in the wonders of our imaginations,
then recollect
to
Imagine More.
