Music Department Scrapbooks, Kappa Kappa Psi Scrapbooks, and Tau Beta Sigma Scrapbooks
History & Scope & Contents
There are twenty-three Music Department Scrapbooks,
which consist primarily of clippings and programs that related to the Music
Department, its faculty, students, and alumni. In some instances
there are photographs, but those are the exception, not the rule.
Material in the scrapbooks is fairly inclusive, covering faculty and student
recitals, homecoming, concerts, Madrigal dinners, honors convocations,
commencement, articles from the proposal to the completion of the Music
Education building and the demolition of Festival Hall, letters in praise
of various performances, tours, and festivals. One Music Department
Scrapbook covers 1951-1958 and there is a gap until 1965. The remaining
twenty-two Music Department Scrapbooks cover the academic years from 1965-1966
to 1986-1987.
In the late 1930s, the Alpha Mu chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi was established at the NDAC campus. It is a "national organization made up of college bandmen who are elected on the basis of musicianship, scholarship, and character." (Bison yearbook, 1938) The two scrapbooks for Kappa Kappa Psi cover 1958-1965 and 1965-1972/73.
In 1951 Tau Beta Sigma was established on the NDAC campus. Tau Beta Sigma consisted of women students who have participated in two quarters of work in the Gold Star Band and have maintained a GPA of 2.7. (Bison yearbook, 1953) The three scrapbooks for Tau Beta Sigma cover 1951-1969, 1970-1985, and 1985-1987, with numerous gaps.
