PEEFACE.
The design of this volume of Yale Songs is to supply a manifest
deficiency in the compilations of the College.
^
The stranger who has been amused and entertained by the gusto
with which our songs are sung, has naturally wished to procure a col-
lection of them ; but his inquiries have hitherto been in vain, as many
of the tunes now, for the first time, presented to the public, had never
been written or arranged, but simply sung traditionally on the jolly
occasions and festivals of college life.
The editor having gleaned the most popular, and those embodying
the Yale spirit, words and customs, takes pleasure in presenting them
to the musical world.
In this connection the Editor would make acknowledgements to dif-
ferent members of the college for the readiness with which they have
rendered invaluable assistance in the collection of materials for this
volume, and especially to Mr. Chas. S. Elliot, of the class of '67,
who has had immediate supervision in the arrangement of much of
the music.
