Description: This is the sheet music of a college song for The UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA titled "ALL HAIL ALASKA". Words by MARY J. WALKER & CARL M. FRANKLIN & music by CARL M. FRANKLIN. Music and words are included on three sides of two pages, only the first is shown here. It is from a 1938 book of college songs before Alaska was even a state. This music is in great condition - of course the paper has that lovely yellowing color of old books. When framed, this would make a wonderful Christmas, birthday or graduation gift for any ALASKA student, graduate or alumni. Page measures approximately 9 x 12". Comes from a smoke free home. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF MUSIC, NOT A COPY. There are others selling photocopies, but this is an actual page from an old song book! Item will be carefully mailed in a stiff mailer. UNIVERSITY OF ALASKAThe University of Alaska Fairbanks, located in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA, is the flagship campus of the University of Alaska System, and is abbreviated as Alaska or UAF. UAF is a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant institution, as well as participating in the sun-grant program through Oregon State University. It is also the site where the Alaska Constitution was signed in 1956. UAF was established in 1917 as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, first opening for classes in 1922. The University of Alaska was established in 1917 as a college, but its origins lie in the creation in 1906 of a federal agricultural experiment station in Fairbanks, the sixth in Alaska. The station set the tone for the university that developed later, which is strongly research-oriented. In 1915, the U.S. Congress approved funds to establish a school of higher education and transferred land from the station for the purpose. The federal land grant was accepted by Territorial Governor John Strong in 1917. That year, on a bluff above the Chena River, a cornerstone for the college was laid by Territorial Delegate James Wickersham. The site became known as College Hill. Charles E. Bunnell was appointed the university's first president, serving for 27 years. The new institution was established as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in 1922, offering 16 classes to a student body of six (at a ratio of one faculty member per student). In 1923 the first commencement produced one graduate, John Sexton Shanly. In 1931, the rest of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station was transferred to the college, and the Alaska Territorial Legislature changed the name in 1935 to the University of Alaska. As the university began to expand throughout the state, the Fairbanks campus became known as the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1975; the two other primary UA institutions are the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. ALL HAIL ALASKA"Though far we wander from thy door, Following paths of golden lore, With love and pride we think of thee, Rev'ling in treasured memories. 'Neath sparkling stars and northern lights, Hill crest halls gleam stately white, Inspiring love and faith to glowing flame, Our Alma Mater we revere thy name..."
