Alma mater Quote by Kathryn Lasky
“Hail to St. Aegolius Our Alma Mater. Hail, our song we raise in praise of thee Long in the memory of every loyal owl Thy splendid banner emblazoned be. Now to thy golden talons Homage we're bringing. Guiding symbol of our hopes and fears Hark to the cries of eternal praises ringing Long may we triumph in the coming years. - The Owls of St. Aegolius”

![“I cast people from right around me. I was at my alma mater. It's special to have most of the graduate students in it [and] one professor, because I feel like in terms of this school, I was one of the few students lucky enough to break into the art industry or the contemporary art world.” quote by Kalup Linzy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/71e/kalup-linzy-20386_actor_i-cast-people-from-right-around-me-i-was_524503.jpg)
