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.
