Brodie Payne and Henry Tovey wrote the University of Arkansas Alma Mater in the early 1900s. They were inspired by the Ozark Mountain sunrise as it illuminated Old Main.

The Arkansas Alma Mater

Pure as the dawn on the brow of thy beauty,
Watches thy Soul
from the mountains of God.
Over the fates of thy children departed,
Far from the land
where their footsteps have trod.
Beacon of hope in the ways dreary lighted,
Pride of our hearts that are loyal and true.
From those who adore unto one who
adores us,
Mother of Mothers, we sing unto you.
