About the song
Words and Music by E.M. Frost '11 Lyrics:
In eighteen hundred and twenty-four, lived a man of great repute; This good man founded the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, His aim was to furnish his country with men Who could build better bridges then those They used then.
Now a thousand or two such men pass in review, And we'll give all the honor due To Stephen Van Rensselaer, A noble man with a grand career; An A.B. from Harvard and an L.L.D. from Yale. He saw the need of such an institution So he straightway proceeded to establish a good one, And its world-wide fame will perpetuate the name Of Old Stephen Van Rensselaer
