Who Knew WashU?
 Question: On what song is Washington University’s alma mater based?
Answer: C) In 1907, Arthur Lieber, the university Glee Club’s director, encouraged members to write an alma mater based on the traditional German song “How Can I Leave Thee.” Milton Rosenheim and George Logan answered the call. That tune is also the basis for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point’s alma mater.
Congrats to this week’s winner, Joseph Schwenk, an adjunct professor in the Joint Engineering Program, who will receive an “I Knew WashU” luggage tag!
