That Good Old Baylor Line/ Baylor Fight

• Moore, Donald

In 1906, a student penned humorous words to the tune of “In the Good Old Summer Time,” and they became generally accepted among the student body as the school song. However, in 1931, Mrs. Enid Eastland Markham, wife of music professor Robert Markham, feeling the words were not dignified enough nor representative of the total University, wrote new lyrics which were soon sanctioned as the official school song. The “Good Old Summer Time” tune was later arranged to fit Mrs. Markham’s “Baylor Line” through the work of Jack Goode and Donald I. Moore. The “Baylor Fight Song” was written by Frank Boggs and Dick Baker in 1947 to replace the previous fight song, which they described as “horribly hard to sing,” to get students more excited and involved.
