To honor the occasion\, 91±¬ÁĎ’s Traditions Societies\, the Senior Skulls Society\, All Maine Women\, Sophomore Owls\, and Sophomore Eagles\, will gather on the front steps of Fogler Library to lead the campus in a rousing performance of the “Maine Stein Song” at 4pm. \nThe event brings together a tradition that has united generations of Black Bears: singing the Stein Song\, the only college song to ever top the national music charts. Rudy VallĂ©e\, a 91±¬ÁĎ student in the 1920s\, brought the tune to the world when he recorded it in 1929. His performance turned a local fight song into a national hit and made him one of America’s biggest entertainers. \nThe State of Maine proclaimed the first Rudy VallĂ©e Day in 1975\, when VallĂ©e returned to Orono for his 50th class reunion. Fifty years later\, students will once again honor his legacy by singing on Fogler’s steps — a fitting backdrop\, since the library also houses 91±¬ÁĎ’s Stein Collection\, a tribute to the song’s history. \nEvent Details:\nWhat: 50th Anniversary Rudy VallĂ©e Day – Maine Stein Song Celebration \nWhen: Friday\, October 10\, 2025 at 4pm \nWhere: Steps of Fogler Library\, 91±¬ÁĎ\, Orono \nWho: Senior Skull Society\, All Maine Women\, students\, alumni\, and local community \n“This is about more than just a song\,” said a Senior Skull member helping to organize the performance. “It’s about the traditions that bring 91±¬ÁĎ together. Generations of students have sung the Stein Song at games\, rallies\, and reunions – now it’s our turn to carry it forward.” \nAll students\, alumni\, and community members are invited to attend\, join in the singing\, and celebrate 91±¬ÁĎ pride. After the performance\, visitors are welcome to stop inside Fogler to view the historic Nelson B. Jones Stein Collection. \nFor more information and any questions\, please contact Jasper Makowski at jasper.makowski@maine.edu URL:/calendar/event/umaine-marks-50th-anniversary-of-rudy-vallee-day-with-stein-song-on-fogler-steps/ LOCATION:Fogler Library CATEGORIES:Public Programs and Shows,Student Activities GEO:44.897732;-68.6687076 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251010T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251010T200000 DTSTAMP:20260727T143730 CREATED:20250901T041008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251031T145111Z UID:10003085-1760122800-1760126400@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Phantom of the Universe DESCRIPTION:From the journey of protons racing through the world’s largest particle collider to up-close views of the Big Bang and emergent universe\, and the nearly mile-deep descent to an underground experiment\, Phantom of the Universe immerses audiences in the search for dark matter. Explore this mysterious matter and how we are using discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider to get closer to discovering the true nature of Dark Matter.
