Listen to "Old Nassau," Princeton University's alma mater song!
Old Nassau Lyrics
Tune every heart and every voice,
bid every care withdraw;
Let all with one accord rejoice,
in praise of Old Nassau.
In praise of Old Nassau we sing,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Our hearts will give while we shall live,
Three cheers for Old Nassau!
Tune every heart and every voice,
bid every care withdraw;
Let all with one accord rejoice,
in praise of Old Nassau.
In praise of Old Nassau we sing,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Our hearts will give while we shall live,
Three cheers for Old Nassau!

There's Mrs. Zimmerman (as a youngster) hugging the Princeton mascot at a basketball game in Jadwin Gym. Go Tigers!
Mrs. Zimmerman and her friends at graduation. (Notice that there really is ivy on the building in the background. Yes, that's where 'Ivy League' gets its name!)
Guess who that is ... Mr. Zimmerman! (This was years before we were married.) Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman graduated the same year from Princeton. His collar is yellow because he graduated from the school of engineering. Mrs. Zimmerman's collar is white because she graduated from the school of arts and sciences. Mrs. Zimmerman majored in European history.
