Thanks MMario (and I'm still hoping anent the Vassar tune, Sarah2)...
MMario, I had seen the second page you linked to but had given up on trying to decipher it, because although it statesWhat was actually displayed below was obviously not the words and music of anything, and then there were all those disconcerting question marks... ;-) I am still interested in a small MIDI of the tune, if anyone has one, though for my personal purposes (being a Yalie) I can get by fine singing it to "I fee'd a lad at Michaelmas"...The words and music of the first verse and chorus are displayed below. The words of the other three verses are as follows:
Let music rule the fleeting hour,Liland
Her mantle round us draw
And thrill each heart with all her power,
In praise of Old Nassau.''
~?????????????????/THERE IS A SECTION OF MUSIC HERE, WITH NOTES AND WORDS THAT COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED????????????????
``And when these walls in dust are laid,
With reverence and awe,
Another throng shall breathe our song,
In praise of Old Nassau.
Till then with joy our songs we'll bring,
And while a breath we draw,
We'll all unite to shout and sing,
Long life to Old Nassau.''
