university. If you have a university toast, please send it to me

"Let's get
stinkin'," said Abraham Lincoln, "And we'll roll out another keg of beer. For it's not for knowledge that we came to college, But to raise hell while we're here."
[1961 Frank Lynn, pg 135.]
Variant:
Bring out the silver goblet, With the school crest upon it, And we'll open up another keg of beer. For it's not for knowledge that we came to college, But to raise hell while we're here.
[1961 Frank Lynn, page 140.; The above was a popular song in the 60's but
doesn't seem to have survived as a song or a toast.]

[Sung to the Notre Dame fight song, I don't know if this was ever used
as a toast.]
Beer, beer for old Notre Dame, You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the champagne. Send the freshmen out for gin, Don't let the sober sophomore in. We never stagger, we never fall, We sober up on wood alcohol. While our loyal sons are marching Back to the bar for more.
[1961 Frank Lynn]
Variants:
Beers, beers for old Notre
Dame Bring on the cocktails, we want champagne Send the freshmen out for gin, Don't let a sober sophomore in. We never stagger, we never fall, We sober up on wood alcohol, All the loyal faculty lie drunk on the bar room floor!
Another:
Beer, beer for old Notre Dame. Bring on the whiskey, bring on the dames! We drink wine or beer or gin Don't let a sober person in! We never stumble, we never fall. We sober up on wood alcohol. As our loyal sons go marching Back to the bar for more!
