''Alma Mater'' is the name of the official school song of Kansas State University. In 1888, when the university was still Kansas State Agricultural College, H.W. Jones submitted the song as part of a school-wide contest. It was originally a four-stanza song and, over the years, some lyrics have changed.<ref name="KS">{{Cite web|url=http://www.kstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=400&KEY=&ATCLID=37671|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090822232241/http://www.kstatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=400&KEY=&ATCLID=37671|url-status=dead|title=Kansas State Traditions β Kansas State University Wildcats Official Athletics Site|archive-date=August 22, 2009}}</ref> The song is sung at most K-State sporting events by fans, students and alumni. [[Wildcat Victory]] and [[Wabash Cannonball]] are both commonly used as fight songs. Wildcat Victory is used by many high schools as their fight song. Since the early 2010s, K-State students have chanted obscenities at sporting events toward their rival, the [[University of Kansas]], to [[Darude]]'s [[Sandstorm (instrumental)|Sandstorm]] and the Wabash Cannonball.
