After the Revolutionary War, anti-British sentiment prompted track owners to reverse the direction of the races (this desire also caused Kings College to rename itself Columbia University). Auto races were originally held on horse tracks, so auto racing followed suit, counter-clockwise. Who wrote the song Happy Birthday? Possibly the best-known song ever written, was composed by Mildred Hill, a pianist and teacher in Kentucky, and published in 1893. The original words, Good Morning to All, were written by Mildred’s sister Patty as a daily greeting in her classroom. Patty later changed it to the birthday lyrics.
