members and performs main
also a concert Blue Band, also
composed of about 95 members.
James W. Dunlop, associate pro
fessor of music education, has di
rected both bands for the past
nine years.
The marching -;Blue Band
clips down Beaver Field a rec
ord rate of 180 steps a minute
and is recognized as one of the
fastest-marching bands in the
country. It performs at many
away football games as well as
all home games.
The - Concert band presents pro
grams with selections ranging
from Sousa to Bath. The concert,
activities are concluded with the
annual Spring Concert held the
last Sunday in May on the steps
of the Pattee Library.
The original Blue Band was
formed in 1899 as a Cadet Bugle
Corps. Two years later the Cadet
Band succeeded the bugle corps
and received financial aid from
Andrew Carnegie.
The group changed its name
to the College Band in 1913 and
33 years later to the Penn State
Blue Band..
The band has had three direc
tors since 1914. The late Wilfred
O. Thompson, a retired Army
bandmaster, directed the unit un
til 1939. Dr. Hummel Fishburn,
now professor of music and music
education, directed the group for
eight years until Dunlop became
director.
Thompson conducted the band
in several campus concerts each
year, and Dr. Fishburn organized
the two distinct units with dif
ferent personnel and instrumen
tation.
Tryouts for the band will be
announced at a later date.
Class Numeral Painting
Practiced in Early I9oo's
Beginning in 1902, the class of
1904 started the custom of paint
ing class numerals on the tower
of Old Main.
This practice continued for sev
eral years with the classes trying
to. outdo each other in ingenious,
ways of getting the numerals up
there. The danger of the practice
caused the scene of action to be
shifted to the Armory roof after
a few years, and there it con
tinued for some time.
