University of Pittsburgh Alma Mater

The alma mater of the University of Pittsburgh was adopted soon after the University changed its name in 1908 from the Western University of Pennsylvania to its current moniker. Lyrics were written by George M. P. Baird, class of 1909 and were set to the tune of what was then the Austrian National Anthem (adopted as the German National Anthem in 1922). A new tune for the "Alma Mater" hymn was composed by Charles W. Scovel, class of 1883, but it was not widely adopted and was either lost or became obscure.〔(1916 Owl Yearbook )〕〔(University of Pittsburgh Varsity Marching Band: School Songs, accessdate=2009-02-12 )〕
==Use and recordings==

The "Alma Mater" acts as an official anthem of the university and often is played to open and/or close various University functions, including athletic contests such as football and basketball games. It is more formal than the traditional fight songs such as "Hail to Pitt" and the "Victory Song", and is typically played and sung in a more reverent fashion than other university songs.
One of the first professional recordings of "Alma Mater", along with "Hail to Pitt", was by the Criterion Quartet on Gennett Records in 1920〔(Gennett 1000 series Numerical Listings, accessdate=2009-02-11 )〕〔(Labelliste von 'Gennett 10000 vis 10093', accessdate=2009-02-08 )〕 During the 1940s, Joseph Wood conducted a recording of a collection of songs entitled ''Songs of the University of Pittsburgh'' that featured Walter Scheff, Ralph Nyland, and Michael Stewart. Released on two 78-rpm discs by Republic records, the album featured "Pitt Alma Mater", "Hail to Pitt", "The Panther", and the "Pitt Victory Song". Various compilations by the Pitt Band and Pitt Men's Glee Club have also been produced that have included the "Alma Mater". Around the 1952-1953 school year, the Pitt Band and the Pitt Men's Glee Club collaborated to release a compilation songs entitled ''Songs of Pitt'' on RCA Victor Records.〔(The Owl 1953, University of Pittsburgh, page 219, Documenting Pitt, University of Pittsburgh Digital Library, accessdate=2009-02-08 )〕 More recent compilations included two versions of the "Alma Mater" in a 1987 three record set entitled ''Proud Traditions'' on the Europadisk Ltd. label that celebrated the bicentennial of Pitt's founding, ''Pitt Spirit'' released on audio cassette in 1989,〔Pitt Spirit, The University of Pittsburgh Bands, O'Neill Stanford, Director, ATR, 1989〕 ''Proudly Pittsburgh'' in 1997,〔(University of Pittsburgh Pittcat+ library catalog, Proudly Pittsburgh, accessdate=2009-02-12 )〕 and in the late 2000s ''Pitt Pride!'' and ''Panther Fans...Are You Ready?'' on compact disc.〔Pitt Pride, The University of Pittsburgh Pep Band, ATR, 2007〕〔(Official store of the Pittsburgh Panthers - Panther Product: Pitt Pep Band CD II, accessdate=2009-02-08 )〕 Today, the Pitt's "Alma Mater" is available for purchase in a variety of formats including compact discs, MP3s, and ringtones.
