The Columbia Law School Grad Responsible For A National Anthem

Biglaw isn't the only career path out there.

Which Columbia Law graduate brought global attention throughout the 1940s to a song from a 1935 Chinese film called “March of the Volunteers”? Due in part to its worldwide popularity based on these performances, the song would go on to become China’s national anthem in 1949 and was personally performed by this law school grad at the World Peace Conference.

Hint: The song’s translated English lyrics were so popular that it was part of the canon of American elementary school musical education until everyone decided it was too Communist… which wasn’t a problem for this famous performer, who would be targeted during the McCarthy era.
