Rare book - Songs of the University of Rochester, NY. 57 pages. Collegiate songbook compiled and published in 1927 by the University of Rochester’s graduating Class of 1927. 

The 1927 songbook acts as a definitive archive for the school's historic anthems, traditional chants, and newly introduced fight songs of the mid-1920s. Major inclusions and highlights include:

• The Genesee: The definitive University of Rochester alma mater song, originally written by B. Holmes Wallace. It celebrates the nearby Genesee Valley and the university's "spacious halls".
• The Dandelion Yellow: Traditional verses dedicated to the official school color and the dandelion mascot.
• The Legacy of Jacob S. Roodney: This era of Rochester music is strongly defined by the track "We are the loyal sons of Rochester," a stirring prize-winning marching song written by Jacob S. Roodney (Class of 1927). Roodney tragically passed away in an automobile accident during his senior year, and the publication of this book by his peers served, in part, to cement his contribution to the school's musical lore.
