Arthur John Clark
And the MAC Bands
Text Transcribed from 1943 "Wolverine," the MAC Yearbook, [MSU Library xxxx].
Anyone that has taken Chemistry knows businesslike Prof. A. J. Clark, head of the Chemistry department who came to M.A.C. in 1906. As a University of Wisconsin student he had played in the band and orchestra. Also he and his roommate organized a dance orchestra, in which Clark played the cornet to earn living expenses. Arriving here in September, Mr. Clark, as well as teaching Chemistry, immediately took charge of the band and remained in charge until 1914 when the pressure of World War brought more duties than he could handle. After the war he took over the band at various times until Mr. Falcone was appointed. His hobbies are golf, bowling and music. He no longer has any connection with the band, but he enjoys listening to it.
