The college I attended, University of Memphis (Memphis State at the time) uses an alma mater song with words written in 1927. The music itself dates back to the early 1800s to an old British church song entitled "Lancashire", composed by Henry Smart, a hymn writer of the time. That same hymn goes by its modern name of "Lead on O King Eternal".
@tempetiger: many alma maters of the time were written to the tune of "annie lisle", including alabama, NC, carson-newman, colorado state, cornell, indiana state, lehigh.
hell, even a couple chinese universities' alma maters are based on it, and the american university of beirut.
@youngdre95 I do, but instead of writing them out here, I posted them on the comments to the video featured on our channel! The video was posted by The University of Alabama. Check it out and sub to both channels! We got it goin on over there!! ROLL TIDE to ya buddy!!
Many schools use this song as their alma mater including Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Cornell, & William and Mary.
