Back at that time, NTNU was the only teacher's college providing training for secondary education teachers. The 1st Chancellor Li Ji-gu was impressed by the university's crucial responsibility in the training of teachers and personally wrote the lyrics for the university song; he also asked the Dean of the College of Music, Hsiao Erh-hua to compose the music. The Song was announced in March 1948. |

Due to the expanded structure, the lyrics were amended slightly to "The different faculties and colleges…". |
