Over the years, the University Archives has collected a number of recordings by the campus singing groups and bands. Below are some selections from these performances, including many Columbia school songs. The songs were performed by the Glee Club in 1952 and at the 2010 Glee Club Reunion.
2010 Glee Club Reunion
Nearly 100 Glee Club alumni, going as far back as the Class of 1952, gathered in song during Alumni Reunion Weekend 2010. From the recording, one would never know that these men and women had never sung together before or that they only rehearsed for four hours.
