THIS VOLUME
IS DEDICATED.
-------P R F F A c F.-------
FOR the ninth time the publishers present to Princeton and to the
friends of Prince-
ton, a new edition of the University Song Book. Older graduates will
recall the
book under its title of "Carmina Princetonia," and they will find in the
pages that
follow many of the old songs of their undergraduate days. With the
marvellous expan-
sion of the college, and with the addition of new songs year after year,
it has been
deemed advisable to enlarge the book, retaining the old favorites and
adding the new
onesnot only those new to Princeton and adopted into the family of
Princeton songs,
but many which are new to the college world, and many, which because of
their musi-
cal beauty and because of their ready adaptation to undergraduate uses,
are practically
what is known as " college songs."
The lover of music will find in this book the beautifully classic
songs of Stephen
G. Foster, which appeal to every one with irresistible force: fi My Old
Kentucky
Home," " Hard Times Come Again No More," " Massa's in the Cold, Cold
Ground,"
"Old Folks at Home" (better known, perhaps, as " Suwanee Ribber "), "Old
Black
Joe," and others. Other songs now popular at Princeton and elsewhere,
and appearing
in this collection for the first time, are : " Come Fill Your Glasses Up
! " adapted from
De Koven's " Rob Roy," and Sousa's " March of the Corcoran Cadets ;" "
Just for
Princeton " and " Kai Kai Kai," both by L. Irving Reichner, '94 ; that
charming song
"Mandalay," written by Rudyard Kipling, with music by J. Dyneley Prince;
"The
Orange and the Black " and "Old Nassau," beautifully arranged for male
chorus by
Edw. G. McCollin, of Philadelphia; "Cock Robin," "The Old Oaken Bucket,"
and
three patriotic songs now especially appropriate, " The Star Spangled
Banner," "Die
Wacht am Rhine" and " La Marsellaise."
These are in addition to the old songs, popular in Princeton for
three decades,
and sung there today with as much enthusiasm as in the sixties and
seventies. The book
is confidently put forth as embodying the musical life of Princeton.
Many of the songs
are from Princeton pens, all of them are campus favorites and it is
hoped that each of
them will become dear to the large and constantly growing circle of
students, graduates,
and friends who yield allegiance to the Orange and the Black.
The publishers desire to acknowledge the courtesies of Rudolph E.
Schirmer, '80,
L. Irving Reichner, '94, Lucius H. Miller, '97, Prof. J. Dyneley Prince
and Edw. G.
McCollin.

ALMA MATER, PRINCETON.
Dedicated to the Princeton Glee Club, 1893.
Henry Van Dyke, '73.
TuneLauriger Horatius.
1 Hear the song we raise to thee, I 3
City set upon a hill,
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Bringing joyful praise to thee,
Filled with light serene and still,
Alma Mater, Princeton.
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Fair, and full of fame thou art; We
have lingered at thy shrine,
Pride of every loyal heart;
We have lit our lamps at thine,
May thy glory ne'er depart,
Clear and steadfast may they shine,
Alma Mater, Princeton.
Alma Mater, Princeton.
2 Long ago thy massy towers, 4 O
how lightly passed our days,
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Built by stronger hands than ours, When
we trod thy classic ways,
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Echoes to the cannon's knock;
Underneath thy spreading trees,
Still they stand the ages' shock,
Worked, and played, and sat at ease
Founded on the living rock,
Singing songs and merry glees,
Alma Mater Princeton. !
Alma Mater, Princeton.
5 So we lift this song to thee,
Alma Mater, Princeton;
All our hearts belong to thee,
Alma Mater, Princeton;
Faithful ever, now and then,
Princeton boys and Princeton men,
Shout the chorus once again,
Alma Mater, Princeton.

And twilight charm gives way to night; Class-ivy,

The once thronged campus, now in peace, Glare sternly
as our voices cleave
Lies dark and empty in our sight. The
sacred stillness of the night.
But still, content, we tarry here,
Step softly, boys ! this hour should be
Again our voices ring ;
For alumni ghosts their songs to bring.
Once more before our closing cheer, Hark !
shades of mightier sons than we
To Alma Mater sing! I
To Alma Mater sing!
NOTE.The closing chord of the last verse should die away and swell

And both the teams, with horrid screams, into the contest flew;
The air was full of antique oaths, the contest close was fought,
And when old Helios went down, the score was 6 to 0.Cho.

For Gyas sobbed in broken Greek, recalling Princeton's plays,

STAND BY YOUR GLASSES.
The following poem was written some years ago, during the prevalence
of the cholera in India, by an English officer, Capt. Darling,
who himself shortly afterwards fell u victim to the dread scourge.

around us are bare, As they

2 Not a sigh tor the lost that darkles, Ho!
stand to your glasses steady!
Not a tear for the friends that sink, This
world is a world of lies,
We'll fall 'mid the wine cups' sparkles, One cup
to the dead already,
As mute as the wine we drink; Hurrah
for the next who dies!
Come, stand to your glasses steady,
'Tis this that the respite buys, 4 Cut off
from the land that bore us,
One cup for the dead already,
Betrayed by the land we find,
Hurrah for the next who dies! When the
brightest are gone before us,
And the dullest are most behind;
3 Who dreads to the dust returning ? Stand,
stand to your glasses steady!
Who shrinks from the sable shore ? 'Tis all
we have left to prize,
Where the haughty, restless yearning One cup for
the dead already,
Of the soul can sting no more: And
one for the next who dies!
WE STAND FOR THE LAST TIME TOGETHER
By Henry J. Van Dyke, Class of 1873.
Air,"Stand by your glasses."
t We stand for the last time together, 3 Each
rose is a vanishing pleasure,
Hand to hand, face to face, heart to heart; Which memory
plucks to enfold
A day may divide us forever, In
her many-leaved book, as a treasure
We '11 sing one more song ere we part. More
precious than jewels or gold.
As friends when the banquet is ending, Long after
its color has perished,
Stand closer to give one last cheer, Long
after its freshness has flown,
So to-night let our voices all blending, The rose
for its fragrance is cherished,
Ring out our last song loud and clear. To tell
of the days that are gone.
2 Not one flower-garland is faded, 4 Here
's a health to the hours departed,
Each beaker with roses is drest;
Farewell to our glad college years!
Not a face at the banquet is jaded, Here ?s
a health to the future,light hearted
The last of the feast is the best. We
greet it in hope, not with fears.
- Yet a shade falls across all the brightness, One
more,'tis the last ere we sever!
From the wings of the hours flying past, Every voice in
the chorus ring free!
Every heart feels a weight on its lightness, Old Princeton,
we'll love her forever,
The thought that the best is the last. Here's a
health, Alma Mater, to thee!

OLD NORTH.
Air. Stand by tour Glasses.
Words by B. B. Blydenburgh, '81.
1 Old North, like a sentinel keeping,
They have drank of the fount of her glory,
Her guard o'er the elm-crowned hill, The
truth of her generous law,
Stands at rest while stern time is reaping They
have thrilled with the deeds of her story
The harvest the days fulfill.
The triumph of old Nassau.
Years bring to our Mother no sorrow,
They but add to the weight of her love; 3 There's a
spirit that's mighty in laughter,
Time sows but to reap on the morrow, That's
brave to endure and to dare;
The honor of old Nassau. That
leads while the world follows after,
That trusts to the sword and the prayer;
2 The hearts of her children are beating, That
knoweth the secret of youth, boys,
In tune with the love that they hold, That's
gallant in love and in war,
Untouched by the years that are fleeting, That's
strong in its watchword of truth, boys,
They know not the way to grow old. The
spirit of old Nassau.
