Today, June 12, 2008, marks the 105th anniversary of Sigma Alpha Iota International Music Fraternity.
“IT IS COMMENCEMENT DAY JUNE 12, 1903 ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR. Seven gifted young musicians whose names and whose lives hold a unique place in the heart of each Sigma Alpha Iota were deeply involved in the festive events which such occasions afford.
Elizabeth A. Campbell, Nora Crane Hunt, Leila H. Farlin and Georgina Potts were graduating at the evening ceremonies. Mary Storrs and Frances Caspari were leaving immediately for graduate study. Minnie M. Davis carried responsibilities as a young member of the Music Faculty.
On the afternoon of this Commencement Day, “THE SEVEN” met in the library at the home of Elizabeth A. Campbell, 555 Division Street (yes, Nora Hunt was present despite her appearance as soloist on the Commencement program that evening), and “solemnly pledged themselves to help each other with sisterly affection, to stand for the highest musical scholarship, for nobility and uprightness of character and for the maintenance of friendly and unselfish relations among women in the musical profession.”
A simple spontaneous act?” Read more to find out…
