Stand Up and Cheer (song)

"Stand Up and Cheer" was written by Paul P. McNeely in 1909 for use at the University of Kansas, where it is still played today as a secondary fight song, and used as the primary fight song at Ohio University, Athens, Western Kentucky University, and many others. It is also played as a secondary fight song at Columbia University.

Another version was created by popular songwriters Lew Brown (lyrics) and Harry Akst (music) for the 1934 film Stand Up and Cheer! starring Shirley Temple.
