Song to Old Union

"Song to Old Union" is the alma mater of Union College in Schenectady, New York. It was written by Fitz Hugh Ludlow for Union's 1856 commencement ceremonies. It is sung each year at graduation, although it is the rare student or alumnus who knows more than the first verse and chorus.

The "brook that bounds," praised in the first verse, is Hans Groot's Kill, a scenic stream that cuts through the secluded Jackson's Garden at the north side of the campus.
