The Classic Gridiron Marks its Golden Jubilee

Harvard Stadium Opened in '03

So Grecian and Roman and tall;

And here's to the Crimson Palladium

That tottered and fell from the wall.

For the lads from the granite mountains

Came down on that classic fold,

And lifted and looted the trophy,

A pigskin more precious than gold.

O here's to the great Colosseum,

So Roman and Grecian and grim;

And here's to the lads came to see 'em,

Whose chances some though pretty slim.

But--Shades of All Strenuous Smashers--

A hundred-ton football machine,

They wrote "Wah-Hoo-Wah" on the Nike,

And painted the pedium green.
