The WIT Rally

 is one of the many fight songs of the Western Institute of Technology. The WIT Rally is specifically used at baseball and football games.

1891 Standard Version
The following transcript has been the fight song for West Tech since 1891:"Whitney, O’ Whitney, our wit will carve the path; Our strength will help us find our hope; Our foes will know our wrath! Whitney, O’ Whitney, channel the brawn we hath; victory from coast to coast; while clad in gold and black!""O Whitney" refers to Whitney Tollemache, who founded the school in 1877.

Pure Hatred version
During the 1940 Pure Hatred matchup, West Tech fans Greggory Tollemache and Kevin Chui wrote a new version of the WIT Rally. While leading 35-7 at halftime, the student section sang the following:"Whitney, O’ Whitney, our wit will carve the path; we won't need strength to beat these mopes; C-Tech will know our wrath! Whitney, O’ Whitney, channel this beatdown fast; victory we yearn to boast; while clad in gold and black!"The Pure Hatred version has become a staple of the rivalry. Crosley Tech fans attempted to come up with their own fight song, however were unable to compete with the popularity of the West Tech song.

History
