Carmen Ohio "Carmen Ohio" (Latin: Song of Ohio) is the oldest school song still used by The Ohio State University. The song was composed by freshman athlete and Men's Glee Club member Fred Cornell in 1902 or 1903. According to some accounts, he composed it on the train ride home from Ann Arbor, Michigan after Ohio State suffered an 86-0 loss to the Michigan Wolverines. Set to the tune "Spanish Hymn", or "Spanish Chant", the Men's Glee Club first performed the song in 1903; however, it did not gain popularity until after its October 10, 1906 publication in "The Lantern". At the following Ohio State-Michigan football game on October 20, 1906, "Carmen Ohio" was published in the program. In 1915, Cornell recalled that he wrote the song in 1903 at the request of the Men's Glee Club, and other family members later stated that the train story might be an exaggeration or outright fabrication.
