Thread Name: College Fight Songs
Subject: RE: College Fight Songs
I think the official Harvard song is Ten Thousand Men of Harvard, but the fan favorite is (or was, when I was there) Illegitimi Non Carborundum, a bit of faux Latin generally translated as Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down.

Some of the Australian pro rugby teams have fight songs that use the tunes, if not the lyrics, of American college fight songs.
