The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

The recordings represent 75 years of collecting, spanning the earliest jazz recordings to albums released in the 1970s. Born in Birmingham, England in 1927, his love for jazz began at the age of fourteen and from the age of seventeen he was publishing in many leading periodicals on the subject, such as Discography, Pickup, Jazz Monthly, The IAJRC Journal and Canada’s popular jazz magazine Coda. As well as having written various books on British poetry, he has also written two books on jazz: Discographical Essays (2009) and Codas: To a Life with Jazz (2013). Tolley was also president of the Montreal Vintage Music Society which also included Jacques Emond, whose vinyl collection is also housed in the Audio-Visual Resource Centre.

  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • 'Day of Concern' Unifies Students
    March 18, 1982 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI·SAINT LOUIS Issue 419 'Day of Concern' unifies students Barb DePalma "We, the students and faculty of the University of Missouri at St. Louis, feel that the current budgetary policies are counterproduc­ tive to this campus and to the community. The current funding levels and any further reduc­ tions or reallocations will mean cutting into the meat and bone of our programs and activities which will have a negative impact on the quality this campus can offer." This passage, taken from petitions signed by 7,162 UMSL faculty and students, expressed the reason for the overflow audience at the "Day of Concern" held March 5 in the J .C. Penney Auditorium. The purpose of the Day of Concern was to make the community and state legislature aware of how much UMSL is being hurt by proposed budget cuts and insufficient state funding. UMSL is the second largest public university in the state and last in the amount of state funding it receives. The audience, estimated at approximately 1,500. came to hear Lt. Gov. Kenneth J. Rothman and other members of the Missouri legislature propose solutions for the severe budgetary cutbacks that have been made at UMSL. "Suddenly you have a keen awareness of government," Rothman said. "For the first Photos by Sharon Kubatzkv time, perhaps, you have directly felt the effect of a government that isn't responsive to the needs of its people. It's probably a lesson as important as you will learn on this campus." He continued by saying that much of the blame for current situations on campuses today is that students don't become actively involved in the governing system.

In a slight alteration to the Foundation’s general aversion to “tooting its own horn,” this annual report seeks to highlight some of the Foundation’s significant accomplishments and the positive influence it has had both G.
