Students' Song Book
John Farmer (1836-1901) was music master at Harrow School from 1862-1885, and later organist in Balliol College, Oxford. At Harrow, Farmer did some very fine work, and as a pioneer he was largely influential in raising the status of music, and its appreciation, in the public schools of this country.
This famous song, ' Forty Years On ', has long been established as the Harrow School Song, and as such has endeared itself to all Harrovians, past and present, for the last sixty years.
