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
