Cornell Alma Mater
In the film, there are people around a piano singing the Cornell Alma Mater. What was the connection in the story line?

The Robert Wagner character and his teammates were Cornell students
shareNo-They went to Perdue. They were just singing a bunch of college songs.
shareOh sorry,
i haven't seen it in a while and just remembered him wearing a college sweater and singing the songs. Thanks for the correction.
It's Purdue.
shareThank you,I stand reproved.
shareLOL....as Giff says referring to his sweater, most people think it's Princeton, but it's Purdue, that's a college in Indiana.
shareI've been awake all night trying to remember which college the song was about. I had the tune, but couldn't remember the college. They also sang the Auburn University Alma Mata I think. Regardless, does anyone have the lyrics to the Cornell Alma Mater? Guess I could Google it, huh? LOL
Oh Jerry,don't lets ask for the moon,we have the stars.
Saw in another thread, someone explaining that Wagner graduated from Cornell. Also, they'd know the songs of other colleges, or they'd soon run out of them to sing.
shareTwo Amherst College songs, must be a connection.
