And why did they change it?

I mean it's been "praise" for idk how long BUT it is in the 2007 fan guide and has "hail" ... looking really quickly I can't find when it the word was changed.

Yeah, not important but still curious.

It was written "praise" in the original 1928 lyrics.

It also used to be “whom to us recalls” and now it’s “who”. Can’t remember exactly when it changed.

YES! Why do they mess with things?? I mean if it's reverted back to original, then why was it changed to start??

We have a GREAT alma mater.
Meaningful words, enjoyable to sing and a great resounding end to it!

Probably no one messed with it on purpose. Just two words that mean basically the same thing and sound similar when sung by 10,000 drunk college students, and have been mixed up over time.

I just noticed for the first time last night. I thought this was some kind of Mandela Effect.
