Wilfried, The spelling for the book is Carmina Princetonia (see cover of 1900 edition). There is a copy of the Centennial Edition of Carmina Princetonia on ebay (see here).

Lighter, This book contains some of the earliest examples of authentic college folksongs and is reference by Reuss in his master's thesis "An Analytical Survey of Songs from the College Oral Tradition."   

Everyone, The chorus "Glorious, one key of beer for the four of us" is shared by several independent songs.

Eat A Rock, The lines you give don't scan very well for me. Would you mind singing them over the phone to me?   My number in the afternoon is 314.647.3883 and evenings 314.381.0492. You can email me at john@mehlberg.com and I can set something up with you. Thanks!

The irish are the fighters and the french are the lovers
But the god damned dutch go to bed with their mothers

The dutch girls breasts are the dutch boys pride
Because instead of milk they have beer inside

Yours,

John Mehlberg
