“We are loyal EIU, we’re loyal and true
‘though the odds be great or small,
we’ll still be cheering you - rah, rah
So fight you Panthers for the glory of our dear name
fight on for Eastern, come on you
Panthers win this game!”
“For us arose thy walls and towers, their beauty, strength and grace are ours
Thy hills and prairies at thy feet for us in lovely landscape meet
So must our hearts remember thee, so may our lives a tribute be
Strong, true and beautiful and brave and free
So shall our hearts, our hearts, remember thee.”
