I can't pretend to be an expert on this song, or on Latin in general. But I have heard the one line as:

Vivat academicus. Vivant (or viva) professorium

Rather than "Vivat academia! Vivant professores!"

I know nothing of the Latin grammar, but the "professorium" scans better, for whatever that's worth.
