caption_attribution_description: English: "Far Above Cayuga's Waters", the Alma Mater of Cornell University.
context_page_description: This is a list of traditional songs associated with Cornell University. Most of the songs were popularized by, and were written by members or alumni of, the Cornell Glee Club, Cornell's male chorus. Most formal concerts of the Glee Club or Cornell's Women's Chorus conclude with selections of Cornell songs. The songs are also sung at football games and played by the marching band.
  The list is in chronological order and includes the first line of each song, as that is how many students identify the songs.
context_section_description: These songs have been performed by the Glee Club or Chorus at least as recently as 2007. Several, such as the Alma Mater and the Evening Song, are performed multiple times per year. Others, such as the Crew Song, may be revived only once every two to three years.
