Henry Durand

Henry Durand (1961-1929) is credited having songwritten Bright College Years, the Yale University alma mater with Carl Wilhelm. Durand was born in Cincinnati, OH and prepared for Yale at the Hopkins School. He was a member of the Class of 1881, and figured in the founding of Wolf's Head Society.

Bright College Years was arranged for the 1881 Yale Glee Club, and after the quelling of sentiment after World War I to find another alma mater, Durand's song has been "the unofficial alma mater that, with handkerchief accompaniment, is a standard element of Commencement, football games, and almost every alumni get-together."
