Music for the Lower Columbia College Alma Mater was written by Betty Callihan. The arrangement and words were written by the second year music theory class of 1957.

Alma Mater
Here’s to you, Columbia College
As we sing thy praise
Ever in our hearts shall linger
Thoughts of student days.

In thy sacred halls of learning
May we find the key
To the truth that we are seeking
Guide us, make us free.

Mountains guard our peaceful valley
Seagulls wheel and cry
Rivers mirror nature’s glory
Fir trees touch the sky.

College scenes and college friendships
College melodies
Deep within our hearts are blending
Into memories.
