Music dept history

Tony Dumas in the Music Studies Program (Theatre) is MC at a faculty music recital 2/6 and wants some info on history of music here. Am scanning some sample entries from old catalogs, will merge with a few images of faculty etc., give him a brief overview narrative... Am suggesting this would be an excellent student project to do a history of music...

Valentines Day

Bill Sachman from Alumni Assoc. asking the following - I know there's a great Stylus cover ca1920 for this, have to poke around for more.


We’re in the process of planning a social media campaign to celebrate Brockport couples/sweethearts around Valentine’s Day. Do you have any photos that come to mind that resonate that could fit our program? Examples: two people conversing, dancing, having a good time together? Sorry this is super vague but any help would be appreciated.
  

Fannie Barrier Williams photo

Had a call from someone writing a book about black women activists of the 19th century, wanted an image of FBW, and told her the only real image I have is a digital one I paid for, from Howard Univ archives. I gave her their contact info, and alerted her to the Wanda Hendrick's bio that came out last year.
