List of Cornell Songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of traditional songs associated with Cornell University. Most of the songs were popularized by, and were written by members or alumni of, the Cornell Glee Club, Cornell's male chorus. Most formal Glee Club concerts conclude with selections of Cornell songs. The songs are also sung at football games and played by the marching band.
The list is in chronological order and includes the first line of each song, as that is how many students identify the songs.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
