Lincoln University doesn't have a name for their fight song, but it is sung to the tune of "The Washington and Lee Swing".[6]

Alma mater

Sung to the tune of "Ach, wie ist's möglich dann", an old German folk song published in 1827 and variously credited to Friedrich Wilhelm Kücken or Friedrich Silcher, Lincoln's fight song is called "Lincoln, O, Lincoln". (The West Point and Wake Forest alma maters also use the same tune.)[6][failed verification]
