OT - I bet you didn’t know….

That J. Geils wrote the Indiana Alma Mater.

Hail to Old IU.

Must’ve been in the days before he formed the band and his homeroom angel became a Centerfold and pulled him from his seat????

Didn't know he was that old...

Indiana's official Alma Mater song, "Hail to Old IU" was first performed on March 10, 1893 in Indianapolis. J.T. Giles, who organized the IU glee club wrote the words to a Scottish song in order to give the Hoosiers a school song for a performance at a state contest. The song has been a mainstay at Indiana events since that day.
