Ode to Williams

A subset of the Ode to Harvard by Diana Davis '07, written in her freshman fall of 2003. There is a .wav version of this ode being performed here.

Here I am -- I go to Williams: land of mountains, fields, and trees,

Where the smog and smoke of cities never interrupts the breeze;

Where our uniforms are purple and we proudly sport the cow;

Where for discussions, nineteen is the most that they allow;

Where my lecture class is fifty; my professor knows my name,

And everyone I meet seems genuinely glad they came.

Williams -- I go to Williams!

I go to Williams!

Apparently, numerous members of the Williams community have taken it upon themselves to learn this catchy bit of verse.

Music

Below is the music for the Ode to Williams. The only example that seems to return a bit of beautifully-formatted music is the one on the About page; everything else, including on the lilypond wikimedia entry and on the lilypond.org tutorial appears to only return an error. Sad, sad Ode to Williams.
