Music and original lyrics by John B. Wilbur '22 
Music arranged by John Harbison, 2011 | Lyrics updated
Performed for the MIT150 celebrations

This great arrangement of MIT's unoffical official song, by Pulitzer Prize-winning MIT composer John Harbison, opens with a short, decorous phrase (a nod to the 1922 original) — then shifts into festive jazz.
