Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Nassau, The Rose and Silver Gray
Subject: Old Nassau, The Rose and Silver Gray...
The Princeton alma mater since 1859 has been "Old Nassau"; the first stanza and refrain are as follows, but the rest I have been unable to locate. Anybody got it?
Tune ev'ry heart and ev'ry voice Bid ev'ry care withdraw. Let all with one accord rejoice In praise of Old Nassau.
In praise of Old Nassau we sing, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Our hearts will give While we shall live In praise of Old Nassau.
I'm also looking for the words to the Vassar College song The Rose and Silver Gray, probably not the current alma mater since a Google search doesn't show lyrics.
And while we're at it, I'd love a small MIDI or two (not the Princeton Band's 2Mb mpeg file) of the current tune(s). I'm also still trying to come up with a MIDI of Bow Down to Washington (even more appropriate since the drubbing we gave Purdue ;-) (for my Huskies fan page it's got "Vict'ry for Washington" playing at the moment.)
