Here is "Hail of California", an alma mater song used throughout the schools in the University of California System, and was written by William "Brick" Morse in 1907. While it is known that the song is being used at Berkeley, Davis, and Santa Barbara, as well as being formerly used by UCLA until 1925, I also included the other schools like Irvine, San Diego, and Santa Cruz. While these schools don't have any official alma maters songs on record, I included them as their "de facto" alma mater.

Here it is and I hope you enjoy.

LYRICS:
Hail to California,
Alma Mater dear;
Sing the joyful chorus,
Sound it far and near.
Rallying round her banner,
We will never fail;
California, Alma Mater,
Hail! Hail! Hail!

Hail to California,
Queen in whom we're blest;
Spreading light and goodness,
Over all the West.
Fighting 'neath her standard,
We shall sure prevail;
California, Alma Mater,
Hail! Hail! Hail!

~

Fiat lux.
