Historical Note
According to the 1930 University of Idaho yearbook, freshman J. Morris O’Donnell
wrote the words and music of
Go, Vandals, Go as the freshmen class
entry in the annual student music and spirit competition. The song, explained the
yearbook editors, was performed by a male chorus accompanied by a 14-piece orchestra
and was a “decided hit.”
The collection consists of a single handwritten score of five pages. On the first page of the score,
possibly written by the composer are the following words: “Go, Vandals, Go;” “The
University of Idaho official fight song;” “Words & Music by J. Morris O’Donnell,
’33;” and “First presented by the Class of ’33 in the “Song Fest,” May 18,
1930.”
The manuscript group is open to the public. Researchers must use the collection in
accordance with the policies of the University of Idaho Special Collections and
Archives.
