Widener Magazine
A blog by the staff of Widener University’s magazine and Postcript, Widener's alumni newsletter
Was reading in this months Widener Magazine about Rudolph Bloom, who recently passed away. The article said he composed “Widener Blue” which is evidently our college song. In my 4 years there, I never realized we had a college song. Recently, I believe there was an effort to put words to an alma mater that was composed by John Vanore. I have searched the internet and Widener website, but cannot find the finished alma mater. Where can I find it.
Rudolph Bloom’s song “Widener Blue” was recognized as the college song by President Moll in 1979 although it has not been widely sung on campus. Plans for an official alma mater and a Widener fight song are in process, but have not yet been finalized.
I live in Greensboro AL and let me tell you – we all love Dr. Dorsey better than grits!
He is a real asset to our community and the Horseshoe Farm is so nice.
great blog!
