Blue and White is now listed as "one of two official fight songs" at Duke, but during my years there (1966-70), Blue and White was DEFINITELY regarded as the official school song. Blue and White was written in 1930, 18 years before Fight Blue Devils Fight came along. When b-ball teams took the floor in the late 60s, there was a trumpet fanfare followed immediately by Duke Blue and White (what you could hear of it). But Fight Blue Devils Fight and Devil with a Blue Dress On were played too.

@callen8000: Very good information, thank you. You must have done your research!

since you asked, I would say that the other one--Fight Blue Devils fight-- is more the "school song". The one we sang along to also had Carolina in it. this may be more of an instrumental one that the band did.

@scs63: Thanks for the info, but I will want others from there to comment to see if the majority says or if there is evidence to show that you are right. I will do that one if it is "the" fight song, otherwise, I'll do both.
