About the name:
Salvia Dorata, Sage's mom means "Golden Sage" in Italian. Where the sagebrush grows is an old fight song. This classic Aggie anthem was penned by agronomy major Ebenezer J. Kirkham in 1918 during his senior year. University records are spotty concerning its origin story. USU historian Robert Parson suspects the melody may stem from an old English or Scottish ballad, but he has never identified a potential source. He recognizes Kirkham’s authorship of USU’s “The Scotchman” song, but says it cannot be the original. Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) dominates large portions of western U.S.
As an Aggie alum, it seemed fitting to honor Sage and her heritage.
Show me a Scotsman,
Who doesn't love the thistle.
Show me an Englishman,
Who doesn't love the rose.
Show me a true-blooded
Aggie from Utah,
Who doesn't love the spot . . .
