Victory (University Of Dayton Fight Song)
Victory is the copyrighted name for the fight song of the athletic teams of the University of Dayton. The song was written in 1922, with music by 1924 alumnus Anthony McCarthy, and lyrics by McCarthy and 1922 alumnus D. Herbert Abel.
The lyrics described are those listed by the university's Athletics Department. However its student handbook, with data from its alumni website, gives a variation on the second phrase of the chorus ("We never have been beaten yet" instead of "Our banner's proudly waving yet."). Current tradition ends the fight song with a chanted cheer as shown.

Famous quotes containing the words victory and/or fight:
“Muhammad is the Messenger of God,
and those who are with him are hard
against the unbelievers, merciful
one to another. Thou seest them
bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty
from God and good pleasure. Their
mark is on their faces, the trace of
prostration....
God has promised
those of them who believe and do deeds
of righteousness forgiveness and
a mighty wage.”
—Qur’An. Victory 48:35, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“Don’t spend your time in drilling soldiers, who may turn out hirelings after all, but give to undrilled peasantry a country to fight for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
