5. The word "engineer" in the school's fight song four times.  The word "drink" twice. "Whiskey" and "rum"with equal billing at one each.

Go Jackets.....

and to bring it back to Stanford, this seems to be to the same drinking tune as the Rambling Wreck song, see page 29 here

In 1910-11 Stanford was as "dry" as Dr. Jordan could make it and any student going to Menlo Park for "liquid refreshments" and caught at it, was in danger of suspension, sometimes for a year. This led to the alibi that "My eyes were weak and I had to rest a year" in the Road to Menlo Song. (from memory)

Oh, there's the road to Menlo
As plain, as plain can be.
And if you want to see a wreck
Just take a look at me.
For I have been to Menlo and tasted of the beer;
And that's the reason my eyes are weak
And I had to rest a year.

I wish I had an ocean of rum and sugar a million pound.
The dear old Quad to mix it in.
The chimney to stir it round
I'd drink a toast to the cardinal
So glorious and so true, and join in
the rollicking chorus
To hell with the Gold and Blue.
