<p>School songs are also fun. At all “official” Smith functions we sing Gaudeamus Igitur, though that’s not unique to Smith. The better ones are the unofficial Smith songs. There are some great old ones in pamphlet books that used to be yearly offerings, but they sang this newer one at the commencement choral concert last year. </p>
<p>“The Women of Smith” (and I should point out that this is in no way meant to offend my sisters from Mt. Holyoke and Wellesley, and is only meant with humor and friendship)
In Old Northampton, small and proud</p>
<p>We attend a college well-endowed</p>
<p>balancing class and sports and clubs and choir</p>
<p>the women of Smith are much admired.</p>
<p>Within our ancient ivied halls</p>
<p>Smith women show they’ve got some… poise.</p>
<p>Though other schools boast lots of men,</p>
<p>Smith rugby could beat all of them.</p>
<p>Those Wellesley women think they’re grand</p>
<p>but on fridays they’re off to Harvard land</p>
<p>Mount Holyoke thinks they were founded first</p>
<p>but Sophia built our college while they went to church.</p>
<p>At Smith we know we’re number one.</p>
<p>Our Alma Mater’s second to none</p>
<p>and you should know we’ll never stop</p>
<p>Smith women always land on top,</p>
<p>Smith women always land on top!</p>
