Band Will Issue Ivy League Album Today, Assures Large Supply

Two thousand copies of the University Band's "Ivy League Album" will go on sale today in House dining halls or common rooms during the noon and evening meals, the Band management announced last night.

With 100 members of the Band contributing their talents, the album was recorded in December under the baton of Malcolm H. Holmes '28, who directed the musical aspects of the unit during the football season.

The long-heralded album contains the chief college tunes of Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale, as well as the medleys by F. Leroy Anderson '29 which featured the half time offerings of the band on the gridiron last fall.

Even Includes Gershwin

Included in the collection are such favorites as "Boola," the "Cannon Song," "Dartmouth's in Town Again," and "As the Backs Go Tearing By," and, of course, "Fair Harvard." The band also relaxes for a moment to play a touch of "Rhapsody in Blue" for the Elis.

More than 1000 orders for the collection have already been received, Walter J. Skinner '48, Band Manager, disclosed. He stated that anyone can be "virtually assured of receiving an album by purchasing one immediately from the agents in the Houses."

The album is the first attempt in the recording field by the band that the New Yorker termed "the best in the East." The albums will be on sale at the Union and the Graduate dining halls starting today, as well as at the Houses.
