On the Banks of the Old Raritan: Rutgers Alma Mater

"On the Banks of the Old Raritan" is a song, or alma mater, associated with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (previously Rutgers College and Rutgers University), in the United States. The original lyrics were written in 1873 by Howard Newton Fuller, an 1874 graduate of Rutgers College. Fuller quickly prepared the song as a school hymn for the college's Glee Club, an all-male choral ensemble, before a performance in Metuchen, New Jersey.

Listening to this after beating four ranked teams in a row. Ten years ago, when I graduated, I could never have imagined this was going to happen. LETS GO RUTGERS!

I didn't go to Rutgers, but this has to be the best college alma mater/fight song ever. & BTW, I am 99.8% sure that is Paul Robeson sitting in the front row at t=1:52.

Robeson was a tool of the Communist Party and no hero😮

Who’s here after we beat Michigan State??

[@pmattapoisett]

Again!

I have been here since I have heard this great song in 1975 at my Brothers Grafuation❤😅

Who's here because they're doing a project on the issue of flooding in New Brunswick and found that "the flood" mentioned in this song is likely the flood of 1810? Just me? Ok.

[@michaelstearne3805]

😀 I always assumed it was hyperbole to Noah's flood.
