CALL SENT ALL OLD MEMBERS

oS the United States. and even down into turbulent little Central America
 have been sent copies of Q cali to q
 reunion of an organization which
 claims many members-the cadet band
 of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. .
 The cadet band was, organized ten
 years ago. and now, at the coming
 commencement of 1909, there Is plan
 ned a gathering of the musicians who
 wore the gray uniforms of the college
 and who piped and blew under the tutelage of Professor M. T. Fullan
 the founder.
 The band has become an institution
 -one which all Alabama has come to know. Through its tours, through It's superb organization which encom passes every class of entertainment and the most enjoyable of entertain ments at that. it Is familiar to many of the citizens of the State. And there are few towns In Alabama which do not shelter some one who has claimed membership.
 Such a part has the cadet band play ed in the part of Auburn life that the college faculty has set apart a day during commencement season to be dedicated to the organization. Here after the Saturday before commence ment Is band day. q day to be inaugu- rated by the reunion this May.
 Criticisms as em bodied in reports by the press of Alabama and Georgia have been universally favorable, and many gave voice to wonderment at the high class of the talent of the band. That the talent is of the first class is un- deniable. in the face of what the newspapers and the people who have attended it's concerts, have to say.
 There are at present twenty-four members, all well versed in the use of musical instruments. and some with versatility which extends to other morous work. etc.
 Altogether the band has acquired such a standard in its work and &C., complishments as to well warrant its establishment as one of the States in stitutions. It Is thought hat the step taken by the faculty, in exalting the band to such degree that one day in the busy commencement season be- longs to the band altogether. will go far toward establishing the Jorganiza-
 ton in Alabama's affairs.
 Michael Thomas Fullan, an instructor
 In Mechanics. who labored for years in
 Its instruction and organization. He
 was succeeded. as bandmaster, by A
 L. Thomas, an instructor of the col
 lege.
 MT. Thomas. with Miss Mary Drake and J. D. Henderson, now direct and
 instruct the body, and to the three
 with Professor Fullan is due the credit for the establishment of one of Auburn's chief military and social features.
 The band is affiliated with the Au- burn Glee Club, another institution which is rapidly acquiring prominence because of its high grade of work The band members. as well as those of the Glee Club are all bona -fide stu dents of the college.
