Marshall Bartholomew ’07s, in his unpublished manuscript A History of Music at Yale, remarked ‘the male quartet became a regular feature of Yale Glee Club concerts soon after the Civil War.’ 2 Even before the first Yale Glee Club was formed, close harmony had made its appearance on the Yale campus, as he records: In 1856, for example, there were informal singing groups which took fanciful titles unto them- selves, as similar groups do at present [the 1950s].We find the Beethoven Bummers - evidently pok- ing fun at the more serious Beethoven Society; also there were the Owls and the Four Sharps. 3 This tradition continued into the 1880s with other groups including the Midnight Caterwaulers of 1870 (a quintet), the Sing- 1 WHIFFENPOOF PRE-HISTORY yale glee club of 1865 ing Club of 1872 (a quartet), the Crows of 1872 (an octet), and the Offenbachanal- ORIGINS ians of 1874 (a quartet).

  • Collegiate a Cappella Groups an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499)
    1 Collegiate A Cappella Groups An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Leslie M. O'Brien Thesis Advisor Dr. Jeffrey Carter Ball State University Muncie, Indiana Spring 2006 May 2006 2 Abstract In response to the recent increase and focus on collegiate a cappella groups in the United States, one can explore the growing trends, difficulties, and complexity some current a cappella groups face each and every day. Through interviews conducted by telephone conversations and e-mail responses.this thesis provides direct feedback, personal experiences, and useful advice from directors, group supervisors, and business managers of four top collegiate groups. The main purpose of this thesis serves as an opportunity to share my personal insight of being a member ofthe a cappella group Singers Five as well as provide helpful suggestions for those who wish to start an a cappella group of their own. Furthermore, through my research I hope to spark even more interest in this growing art form throughout college campuses. In addition to the written portion, I have included a creative piece which includes a documented performance of Singers Five from the spring of 2006. In this performance, Singers Five presents a variety of music to showcase their talents and efforts over the past two years. 3 Acknowledgements -1 want to thank my advisor, Dr. Jeffrey Carter, for all of his guidance and friendship over the course of my college career. 1 would also like to thank him for all of his help with the process of brainstorming and writing my honors thesis. -1 would also like to thank the members of Singers Five (Nick Caine, Jenna Dock, Josh Hobbs and Charlie Wedel) for sharing their talent and time with me.

May 2000 Print | Close George W., Knight of Eulogia A RARE LOOK INSIDE SKULL AND BONES, THE YALE SECRET SOCIETY AND SOMETIME HAUNT OF THE PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT By Alexandra Robbins On High Street, in the middle of the Yale University campus, stands a cold-looking, nearly windowless Greco-Egyptian building with padlocked iron doors. This is the home of Yale's most famous secret society, Skull and Bones, and it is also, in a sense, one of the many homes of the family of George W. Bush, Yale '68. Bush men have been Yale men and Bonesmen for generations. Prescott Bush, George W.'s grandfather, Yale '17, was a legendary Bonesman; he was a member of the band that stole for the society what became one of its most treasured artifacts: a skull that was said to be that of the Apache chief Geronimo. Prescott Bush, one of a great many Bonesmen who went on to lives of power and renown, became a U.S. senator. George Herbert Walker Bush, George W.'s father, Yale '48, was also a Bonesman, and he, too, made a conspicuous success of himself. Inside the temple on High Street hang paintings of some of Skull and Bones's more illustrious members; the painting of George Bush, the most recently installed, is five feet high. There were other Bush Bonesmen, a proud line of them stretching from great uncle George Herbert 1 of 8 5/6/2012 12:33 AM George W., Knight of Eulogia - Magazine - The Atlantic http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2000/05/george-w-knight-of-e..
