ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

What Xavier President
Dr. Norman C. Francis
says about his school
|
"We have our historical distinctions, as America's only historically black and Catholic university,
as well as the only college founded by an American saint (Katharine Drexel).
Xavier University, however, is much more than that.
"At our core, we are a liberal arts-based college dedicated to preparing students to assume
various roles of leadership and service in society. Our achievements in the sciences and
in pharmacy have earned a number of impressive national rankings that belie our relatively
small enrollment. Our graduates excel, carrying the Xavier name into nearly every field of
endeavor. By any measure, a Xavier degree represents one of the best values in education.
"If you are looking for a first-class education and college experience, you can't make a better
choice; if you are looking to invest in the future leadership of America, you have found a great
place in Xavier."
