The vast sea contains all streams, all rivers;

    Great learning connects Heaven and Earth.Metaphysical is Tao; instrumental is tool.

    Rites tell people apart; Music gets them together.

    To know their relations would make us ever brighter.

    There's a national university standing by River Qiantang,

    Whose eternal philosophy is seeking truth from facts.

    Progressive education can produce those able to govern;

    Never say you know the essence, let alone the truth.

    Reform is necessary, and renewal is a must;

    To be a vanguard is to be both creative and innovative;

    Dear young vanguards should be clear of the principles.

    Be devoted to study, deep in thinking and good in understanding;

    We offer arts, science, agriculture, technology, and beyond;

    It needs you to know them all - their origins and applications.

    To become successful people will be like true gold to be made;

    To give up fractional views we're of far sight and broad mind;

    To rejuvenate our great nation is to harmonize the whole world.

    上面是浙江大学校歌的英文版，为了普及校歌，浙江大学让彩铃、Flash与校歌“相遇”。同时，浙江大学校歌生涩难懂的文言文也让bbs着实热闹了一阵，歌词如下：

    大不自多，海纳江河。惟学无际，际于天地。形上谓道兮，形下谓器。礼主别异兮，乐主和同。知其不二兮，尔听斯聪。国有成均，在浙之滨。昔言求是，实启尔求真。习坎示教，始见经纶。无曰已是，无曰遂真。靡革匪因，靡故匪新。何以新之？开物前民。嗟尔髦士，尚其有闻。念哉典学，思睿观通。有文有质，有农有工。兼总条贯，知至知终。成章乃达，若金之在熔。尚亨于野，无吝于宗。树我邦国，天下来同。
