Through the years The Book Nook Commencements became increasingly elaborate productions, involving a parade from fraternity houses to the Nook, absurd speeches, music, and “noise” by the “Book Nook Symphony Orchestra,” and “additional noise” by the “Concert Ya Book Nook Orchestra.” Students paraded dressed in cone shaped hats and bathrobes. In this photograph Hoagy is leading the parade playing the cornet. | Date: 1928 | Source: Photo Courtesy of Indiana University Libraries' Archives of Traditional Music, Hoagy Carmichael Collections 1920-1981Download Original File
