Where the vale of Onondaga
Meets the eastern sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater
On her hilltop high.
Flag we Love! Orange! Float for aye---
Old Syracuse, o'er thee,
Loyal be thy sons and daughters
To thy memory

The lyrics to Cornell's Alma Mater were written by Archibald C. Weeks '72 and his roommate, Wilmot M. Smith '74 to the tune of 'Annie Lisle,' a ballad of the period recounting the gradual decline and death of the tuberculous heroine. ('Wave, willows; murmur, waters; Golden sunbeams, smile; Earthly music cannot waken Lovely Annie Lisle.') The Cornell Alma Mater consists of six verses bu is usually shortened to only the first two verses. The Alma Mater is played by the Big Red Band at all Cornell football games. Cornell insists it is the first school to use the tune. The Alma Mater is played at the noon concert on the chimes.

The Alma mater, "Old Missouri", it is believed was written on April 16, 1895. It was composed in one night by Dr. G.A. Wauchope, a Professor of English. He wrote it in a house on Conley Avenue near what is now Allen Auditorium. Old Missouri is set to the tune 'Annie Lisle' and is to be sung at all sporting events and gatherings. Students and Alumni stand while the song is played.
