There are several songs about Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute traditionally sung at special events. Here's to Old RPI "Here's to Old RPI" is the Alma Mater of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It is sung at various formal events. It is also played by the RPI Pep Band at Hockey games (when it is traditional to stand and sing along while the band is playing). It was written in 1897 by Edmund Fales, and was published in the first book of Songs of Rensselaer, printed in 1913. Lyrics Here's to old RPI, her fame may never die. Here's to old Rensselaer, she stands today without a peer. Here's to those olden days, Here's to those golden days, Here's to the friends we made at dear old RPI. All We've Learned at Rensselaer "All We've Learned at Rensselaer" is a song written by Rensselyrics co-founder Tom Willner and traditionally sung by the Rensselyrics at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute commencement ceremonies. Although the Rensselyrics are an a cappella group, this song is accompanied by piano. Each verse or section has a different musical style, several of which are closely based on Billy Joel songs or other popular music. As many facets of life at RPI have changed over the years, the lyrics have changed appropriately. For example, "F-Test" (once the bane of all freshmen who had regularly scheduled 8am exam periods) has been replaced with "Chem Test". Likewise, the "Hole in the Wall" (a former eatery in RPI's Student Union) has been replaced by a new addition in the same building (the fishtank) and an existing feature (the pub). However, some of the classes still referred to in the song no longer exist: COLD (Computer Organization and Logic Design), succeeded in the 1997-1998 catalog by "Computer Components & Operations" (CoCO) Lumps (Lumped Parameter Systems), very similar to what is now Dynamic Systems Additionally, the stanza listing several buildings by their acronyms is somewhat outdated, as the school administration made a concerted effort to eliminate the acronym form of building names in the late 1990s (though many students and faculty continue to refer to the acronyms): JEC - J. Erik Jonsson Engineering Center JRWL - Jonsson-Rowland Science Center CII - George M. Low Center for Industrial Innovation DCC - Darrin Communications Center VCC - Voorhes Computing Center C&CC - Chapel and Cultural Center CDC - Career Development Center Other acronyms: AML (Advanced Machining Lab) CAD (Computer-Aided
