"All We've Learned at Rensselaer" is a song sung by the Rensselyrics at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute commencement ceremonies.

Lyrics

All we've learned at Rensselaer from all we've had to do,
Is started in our freshman year when we did not have a clue.
We knew about the hockey team, we heard about SO,
and without a doubt we soon found out about the ratio.

Well we played in Frosh olympics and we ate the Commons food,
yes we slept through every F-test despite the caffeine we consumed.
We'd come home every evening back to painted concrete walls,
where we'd throw things at our roommate in those ancient freshman halls.

But some would search for refuge, find solace as a Greek,
we pledged ourselves, we rushed and hoped we'd make it through hell week.
Then by lucky chance, or by begging for a grade or two,
we passed our freshman year, but we were hardly through.

There was:

I Mech, EMAC, Diff Eq and Chem Mat,
BTM, STS, IEA, and MPS.

Lumps, COLD, O Chem, Dirt, Anal, P Chem,
Complex, CAOS, they don't even pay us.

Quantum Psych-n-CHuD, Hum Fac, Soc-n-CruD,
Bio, IED, Aeroelasticity.

Macro, Micro, Fluids and Thermo,
working in the lab all day, what else do we have to say.

Partial Credit, GPA, it's you, oh gods we serve,
we pray for salvation, so that we may ride the curve.

Mother's, Father's, the Bookstore, the Games Room,
the Hole in the Wall and the Rat,
E-board, J-board, IPAC, UPAC,
We all pack's-a-matter of fact.

The Bursar, the Registrar, to West Hell or to Greene,
JEC, CII, DCC, VCC, CDC, C&CC.

but of all we've learned at Rensselaer from all we've had to do,
There's one thing that sums it up, and it's in the following tune.

e to the x, dy/dx, e to the x dx
cosine, secant, tangent, sine,
three point one four one five nine
square root, cube root, log of pi,
dis-integrate them RPI.
