About the song
On, Wisconsin is almost exactly Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer, but in 4/4 time. Any part from On, Wisconsin can be exchanged for any part in Hail without any problems. However, Hail, Dear Old Rensselaer was written in 1825 by an undergraduate student as part of a URP, and therefore clearly was copied to write On, Wisconsin. (Since the University of Wisconsin was not even founded until 1848, clearly they were not the first to use this song.)
