Two glee club members in the Class of 1908, Milton Rosenheim and George Logan, wrote verses. The song was quickly accepted as Washington University’s Alma Mater after the lyrics were printed in Student Life. “Dear Alma Mater,Thy name is sweet to me.Our hearts are all for theeFair Washington.Thy halls shall honored beThroughout this great countryFor all eternity, Our Washington. Those days of youth whichAll of us spent with theeForm a dear history,Fair Washington.Could they renewed be,We’d live our days with theeFor all eternity, Our Washington.” Some WashU firsts: WashU became the first chartered law school in America to admit women when it admitted Lemma Barkeloo and Phoebe Couzins to its law department.  In 1947, WashU Professor Gerty Cori, with her husband, became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize in science  The first American Olympics were hosted in 1904 at WashU’s Francis Field and Gymnasium.
