School Song: In Praise of MIT
School Song: In Praise of MIT
John B. Wilbur '22
Lyrics revised in 1985 by Alvin Kahn
Arranged for jazz ensemble and choir by John Harbison
Performed by the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, Frederick Harris, Jr., Director
Arise! all ye of MIT,
In loyal fellowship,
The future beckons unto thee
And life is full and rich.
Arise and raise your glass on high;
Tonight shall ever be
A mem'ry that will never die
For ye of MIT.
Thy sons and daughters, MIT,
Return from far and wide
And gather here, once more to be
Renourished by thy side;
And as we raise our glasses high
To pledge our love for thee
We join all those of days gone by
In praise of MIT
