RENAMING O F UNIVERSITY BAND BUILDING AS " H A R D I N G BAND B U I L D I N G , " URBANA

(44) Upon the recommendation of the Director of University Bands, the Executive Committee, and the Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts, and with the endorsement of the Chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus, I recommend that the building presently known as the University Band Building be renamed Harding Band Building. Albert Austin Harding served the University of Illinois for forty-three years, retiring in 1948 as Director of University Bands and Professor of Music Emeritus. An Illinois alumnus who completed studies in the fields of engineering and music, Director Harding influenced many generations of students, trained hundreds of musicians, and pioneered in music composition for bands and in the development of band organization. At the time of his death, in 1958, Director Harding had received recognition as one of the most noted bandmasters of our country. O n motion of M r . H o w a r d , this recommendation was approved.
