Statement from Marching Illini About Musical Tradition
Peter J. Griffin, Ed.D Assistant Director of Bands Director - Marching Illini “The Nation’s Premier College Marching Band” 2/21/07 A great musical tradition at Illinois lives on . There exists a long, proud history of music that was composed specifically for the University of Illinois and its performing ensembles. A number of these pieces were written by world renowned composers including The University of Illinois March by John Philip Sousa, Illinois March by Edwin Franko Goldman, The Pride of the Illini by Karl King, and March of the Illini by Harry Alford. The University’s school song, Illinois Loyalty, which recently celebrated its 100th birthday in 2006, was written by U of I Professor Thacher H. Guild who played in its inaugural performance with the University of Illinois Military Band—a forerunner of the Marching Illini. The Alma Mater and Oskee Wow Wow were both composed by students, as was Cheer Illini. Even the state song, Illinois, Illinois, is performed in “march” form by the Marching Illini at the opening of the pre-game show and when the basketball team enters the court after halftime. These songs are an integral part of the musical heritage of the University of Illinois. The Marching Illini and the Illinois Basketball Band take pride in our role of providing inspiration and entertainment to tens of thousands of people each year at Illini sporting events. We take even greater pride in presenting the music of Illinois to the people of Illinois. In our continued effort to showcase and celebrate the musical history of the University, the athletic bands look forward to many more performances of The Pride of the Illini, Hail to the Orange, and March of the Illini.

Cfc =C2r J! Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://www.archive.org/details/illinaeleavesOOuniv ; - \ Xx(o U~ fWvo uppt3 FOREWORD THE 1928 Mortar Board first conceived the idea of publishing a booklet which would give the new students such information as they might wish and was difficult to gather in any other way. Because of the general need of such a booklet, Woman's League took over the idea and decided to publish this for all new University Women. Woman's League wishes to thank the 1928 Mortar Board for the inspiration for the booklet and much of the work done and material used Dean Maria Leonard for her helpful suggestions and encouraging praise ; and the Illini Publishing Co., particularly Mr. Victor Krannert, for their aid in this work. If all the alumni of the last fifty years were to come back to Illinois, marching in solid phalanx, class by class, each bearing its own contribution to its Alma Mater, of scholastic honors, Illinois traditions, and campus activities,—what a history replete it would reveal, one to be revered, to be loved and remembered. Thus this little booklet comes,—a compilation of the "deals and ideals" of the University women reflecting the life and loyalty of the campus today, which have been built up from year to year and perfected year by year by the women students of dear old Illinois.
