DEDICATION Ninn! Q lillx Theijunior Class is proud to dedicate the 1946 edition of the Prism to Professor Adelbert W. Sprague, head of the Department of Music. For thirty years Professor Sprague has served the University of Maine-first as an assistant in the Department of English and later as a director of music, professor of music, and in his present capacity as head of the department. P During his student days at the University of Maine, Professor Sprague was always active in the musical activi- ties of the campus, becoming a leader in several of the musical organizations during his upperclass years. It was also as a student at Maine that he conceived the idea of making a college song from the military march Opie. This idea he turned over to his roommate, Lincoln R. Colcord, who wrote the words to wha't was to become the Maine Stein Song. During his years on the faculty, Professor Sprague has been associated with many musical groups in the vicinity of the University, among these being the Bangor Sym- phony Orchestra, the Bangor Band, and the Bangor Music Festival. His interest in music has led him to travel somewhat extensively in both Europe and this country, attending musical events and absorbing a great deal of the cultural background invaluable to musicians of all nations. It is, then, to a man who has come to be symbolic of all that for which music stands to students, faculty, and people of the vicinity that we dedicate this Prism, L i P Fil1...1 thesteins to dear old Maine!
