That's right. The music is by Haydn, but the arrangement and Latin text are by Peter Christian Lutkin, first dean of the School of Music at Northwestern, who was an initiate both of Iota Chapter (Northwestern) and a national honorary member (Alpha Alpha). The honor society for music students, Pi Kappa Lambda, takes its name from his initials.
FWIW, I think there are a few songs in the book that first got in there because they were associated with particular chapters.
