Hail Purdue!

Hail Purdue! is the official fight song of Purdue University. The lyrics were written in about 1912 by James Morrison (class of 1915), and set to music by Edward Wotawa (class of 1912). The completed song was published in 1913, initially titled "Purdue War Song," and was dedicated to the Purdue Varsity Glee Club, of which Wotawa was a student member and director.^[1]
