Songs Of Harvard PDF Download

Excerpt from Songs of Harvard Every production stamped specifically with the name of Harvard is pre sented here in a tangible form as a part of the present collection. Nearly every one of this class of songs has been hitherto accessible only as sheet-music, each being published separately. The first and most important duty of the compiler of this volume has been to make a complete and standardized collec tion of these songs, such as can be duplicated in no other publication. The music has been carefully revised, and the words are printed here, often for the first time, in full. But along with these songs that belong both by their tradition and by authorship solely to Harvard, to the stadium, to the torch-light procession, and to commencement-day, there is a large number of songs not originating at Harvard, but which belong to Harvard through long use and familiarity. Every student and every alumnus is familiar with most of them, and it has been the aim of the compiler to make this volume embrace every song that is dear to the hearts of Harvard men. It is almost unnecessary to say that the earlier and less voluminous so - called song books are no longer adequate, if ever they were, nor in any sense truly representative.
