context_page_description: Auburn University has several notable traditions, many related to its varsity teams, the Auburn Tigers.
context_section_description: Auburn University's fight song, "War Eagle", was written in 1954 and 1955 by Robert Allen and Al Stillman. It was introduced at the beginning of the 1955 football season and served as the official fight song ever since.
  War Eagle, fly down the field!
  
  Ever to conquer, never to yield.
  
  War Eagle, fearless and true,
  
  Fight on you orange and blue.
  
  Go! Go! Go!
  
  On to vict'ry, strike up the band!
  
  Give 'em hell, give 'em hell,
  
  Stand up and yell, hey!
  
  War Eagle, win for Auburn,
  
  Power of Dixieland!
  The alternate version the second half of the lyrics has been around since the initial publication, but is rarely heard.  It was designed for use when singing with children, and for those offended by hell in the lyrics:
  ... On to vict'ry, strike up the band!
  
  Hit 'em high, hit 'em low,
  
  Stand up and yell, hey!
  
  War Eagle, win for Auburn,
  
  Power of Dixieland!
  The carillon in the  Samford Hall clock tower play the fight song every day at noon.
