"The Songs of Alpha Delta Phi" was originally released as a set of three 78 RPM records. The records were packaged in a handsome cardboard box, the cover of which is reproduced here.

Unfortunately, no date is printed on the record labels, so we do not know when these recordings were made. Because the lyrics of "We Come With A Shout And A Song" require the singers to insert the name of their college, we know that the performers are from the Cornell chapter.

The recordings have been digitally enhanced to remove most of the imperfections that are common to old 78 RPM records. The authors, where known, are listed as they appear in the "Song Book of the Alpha Delta Phi" published in 1912.
