I heard a (very attractive) tune the other day, for a song about the soldier after whom Amherst College is named, Jeffrey Amherst, famous for his expeditions against the French in Canada, etc. It begins "Lord Jeffrey Amherst", and is, I'm told, the song of the college. Where can I find words & music? And the background of the song?

From: dick greenhaus

Lord Jeffrey Amherst was a soldier of the king
And he came from across the sea,
To the Frenchmen and the Indians he didn't do a thing
In the wilds of this wild country

But for his Royal Majesty he fought with all his might
For he was a soldier brave and true
He conquered all his enemies whenever they came in sight
And he looked around for more when he was through.

On Amherst, Brave Amherst
'Twas a name known to fame in days of yore
Reighn ever victorious
Till the sun shall climb the heavens no more.

Rah!
