Alma Mater Survey

The issue before the Rutgers University Senate is whether the lyrics of the existing song should be changed. We are asking your opinion in this short survey.

Current Version of the Alma Mater:

My father sent me to old Rutgers,
And resolv'd that I should be a man (or a woman);
And so I settled down,
in that noisy college town,
On the banks of the old Raritan.

(Chorus)
On the banks of the old Raritan, my friends
where old Rutgers ever more shall stand,
For has she not stood since the time of the flood,
On the banks of the old Raritan.

Then sing aloud to Alma Mater,
And keep the scarlet in the van';
For with her motto high,
Rutgers' name shall never die,
On the banks of the old Raritan.
(Chorus)
