GUSTAVE J. STOECKEL
*Director 1861-1973*

Gustave Stoeckel, the father of music at Yale, was born in Bavaria in 1819 and came to America in 1848. In 1855 he was appointed organist of the Yale College Chapel and instructor in vocal music, and in 1861 became the first director of the Yale Glee Club. From that time until his retirement in 1894, his connection with Yale was unbroken. To him we owe many of the Glee Club's most enduring songs, among them "'Neath the Elms," "The Pope" and "Switzer Boy".

THOMAS G. SHEPARD
*Director 1873 - 1905*

Thomas Shepard directed the Yale Glee Club from 1873 until his death in 1905. In a period of college music famous chiefly for its mediocrity, Shepard's compositions and arrangements are conspicuous by their excellence - "A Song for Old Yale," "Little Knot of Blue," "Wake, Freshmen, Wake," "Aura Lee" and many others. His genial personality and outstanding ability did much to establish the character and spirit of the Yale Glee Club.

G. FRANK GOODALE
*Director 1905 - 1921*

Frank Goodale '89 was appointed director of the Glee Club to succeed "Tom" Shepard in 1905 and continued in this capacity until 1921. He compiled and edited the book of Yale songs published in 1918. It was during his tenure, in 1909, that the Whiffenpoofs were founded.
