Administration Welcome
Touches Centenary Angle
“It is the privilege of a cen-tury
to welcome you to the
University of Louisville at the
beginning of this the Centen-nial
Year of the institution’s
existence. Your presence here
contributes to the joy and wel-fare
which the University ex-pects
between now and next
June as a special experience
during this Centennial period.
I hope that in all which the
University strives for educa-tionally
each of you will realize
the best, and will come through
the year with ambitions that
have borne fruit well worth
harvesting.’’
RAYMOND A. KENT, Pres.
Dean J. J. Oppenheimer, Col-lege
of Liberal Arts: “I want to
welcome to Belknap Campus both
the old and new students. I earn-estly
hope that the College will
take its place along with the other
Schools of the University in cele-brating
the Centennial year. We
can’t do too much to honor the
men who had the foresight and
courage to establish a Municipal
University in the days when pri-vate
education was a dominant
cultural institution. It behooves
us to honor those men by building
so firmly on their foundation that
the next 100 years will mark
greater effort in service to the
community. I hope all students
will help celebrate this first Cen-*
tennary.”
Miss Hilda Threlkeld, Dean of
Women: “I’m glad to welcome all
the new students to the Univer-sity
and want them to feel that
my office is a general service sta-tion
for all their needs.’’
Marzian to Conduct
1936 University Band
Teamed With E. J. Wotawa,
Former Colleague.
For the 1936-37 season the Uni-versity
of Louisville Band will be
under the guidance and direction
of Albert F. Marzian, now a full-time
instructor in the School of
Music. Mr. Marzian is a graduate
of the St. Petersburg Conservatory
in Russia and
has studied
under the pri-vate
instruc-tion
of Hoch-m
an and
Maier.
For many
years Mr.
Marzian was
director of
music in the
L 0 u is v ille
Male High
School, where
together with E. J. Wotawa, ex-ecutive
secretary of the School of
Music, he led the Male High
School band and orchestra to
State Championship fame for
many consecutive years. Mr.
Marzian and Mr. Wotawa are
working together again in the Uni-versity
of Louisville music depart-ment.
Mr .Marzian was a member of
the old Louisville Philharmonic
Orchestra, conductor of the Lou-isville
Symphony Orchestra, and
director of music at the famous
old Macauley’s Theatre for thir-teen
years. He was an instructor
in orchestration and instrumenta-tion
in the Louisville Conservatory
of Music, in addition to giving
private lessons. Most recently Mr.
Marzian was director of the
Courier-Journal and Louisville
Times newspaper boys’ band. He
has written compositions for
piano and orchestra which have
been played widely both in Amer-ica
and Europe. Asa director
and conductor of school bands and
orchestra, Mr. Marzian is famous
throughout the country.
“I urge every member of every
school of the University who can
play any instrument to see me in
regard to playing in the band,”
said Marzian. “It is my desire to
develop a first class musical organ-ization
on the Campus, not only
for the Centennial, but in time for
the football season.” Mr. Marzian
will be a full time instructor, an
advantage which the University
has not held for a number of
years. At a pre-school meeting of
students interested in the band,
twenty persons were present, the
largest number ever to attend such
a get-together, according to Roy
Boesser, manager of the band.

of the University except the
D. A. E., the preparatory depart-ment
of the Music School, and the
Municipal College for Negroes,

Liberal Arts day, 734;
Graduate School day, 15; Medical
School, 336; Dental School, 101;

1 7 5 Students Receive
N.Y.A. Help This Year
According to reports from Ray-mond
E. Blackwell, N. Y. A. su-pervisor
of the University of Lou-isville,
175 new students have
been given 'government aid, with
about 25 more to be appointed
and another hundred applications
pending.
The Federal apportionment to
the University has been increased
slightly, but will probably be
taken up by the increase in fees of
the University, Mr. Blackwell
said.
