LPSC Song

(To the tune of “Wabash Cannonball”)

The Pauling Science Center
Will do a lot of good
Like housing Tory Hagen
And Roderick Dashwood
There’s Gombart and there’s Traber,
There’s Stevens and there’s Ho
Upcoming’s Viviana
And lots of naked moles

They’ve shown we CAN live longer
Our lives will be enhanced
By taking micronutrients
And anti-oxi-“dance”
We’ll have a strengthened blood flow
And healthy kids to boot
From work that’s going on inside
The Pauling Institute

The Chemistry Department
Will get a brand new space
By moving out of Gilbert
Into this fancy place
Blakemore, Carter, Beaudry
The carbon-focused three
And don’t forget Vince Remcho’s
Work in nano-chemistry

Instrumental

The building’s named to recognize
The famous scientist
Whose Nobel prizes both were earned
Alone without assist
So here’s to Linus Pauling
It’s of him that we declare
Our number one alumnus
With a lot of room to spare
