| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 62: Bandmaster M. Thomas Fullan and the API band posed in 1901 at their favorite concert site, in front of Langdon Hall. Fullan, Auburn's John Philip Sousa, formed the cadet band in 1896 and led it for about ten years. He also played cornet and violin in the college orchestra. Besides having musical talent, the engineering professor has been called a mechanical genius. He converted a buggy into one of the town's first cars, built a merry-go-round for children, and ground the lens for his own telescope. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
