Excerpt from Carmina Princetonia: The University Song Book OR the ninth time the publishers present to Princeton and to the friends of Prince ton, a new edition of the University Song Book. Older graduates will recall the book under its title of Carmina Princetonia, and they will find in the pages that follow many of the old songs of their undergraduate days. With the marvellous expan sion of the college, and with the addition of new songs year after year, it has been deemed advisable to enlarge the book, retaining the old favorites and adding the new ones - not only those new to Princeton and adopted into the family of Princeton songs, but many which are new to the college world, and many, which because of their musi cal beauty and because of their ready adaptation to undergraduate uses, are practically what is known as college songs. The lover of music will find in this book the beautifully classic songs of Stephen G Foster which appeal to every one with irresistible force: My Old Kentucky Home, Hard Times Come Again No More, Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground.
