  • If you end up going, try to stick around after the end of the spring semester and go to commencement. You'll hear this song sung every year, and if you do that, it'll mean that much more to you when you return for your 10th, 25th, and 50th reunions and hear it again. Commencement week is wonderful. Almost all the students are gone, the Yard is beautiful but quiet...until the arrival of the reunion classes. And learn "Gaudeamus Igitur".

  • Lyrics, third verse (second traditionally omitted):

    In after years, should troubles rise

    To cloud the blue of sunny skies,

    How bright will seem, through mem'ry's haze

    Those happy, golden, bygone days!

    Oh, let us strive that ever we

    May let these words our watch-cry be,

    Where'er upon life's sea we sail:

    "For God, for Country and for Harvard!"

  • Lyrics, first verse:

    Bright College years with pleasure rife

    The shortest, gladdest years of life;

    How swiftly are ye gliding by!

    Oh why doth time so quickly fly?

    The seasons come, the seasons go,

    The earth is green or white with snow,

    But time and change shall naught avail

    To break the friendships formed at Harvard.

  • Fair Harvard, thy sons to thy jubilee throng,

    And with blessings surrender thee o'er.

    By these festival rites, from the age that is past,

    To the age that is waiting before.

    O relic and type of our ancestors' worth,

    That has long kept their memory warm,

    First flower of their wilderness! Star of their night!

    Calm rising through change and through storm.

  • Go Harvard! Beat Yale!

  • This is also the tune to "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms", by the way. Simply wonderful.

  • Ahh, hopefully my future alma mater <3

    Class of 2014..

  • Beatiful
