MIT Music - requesting permission for digitizing/preserving from MIT Alumni Association
Dear Judith M. Cole, Executive Vice President and CEO, MIT Alumni Association:

We are writing to request your permission to make digital copies of, store, and share the following material, which is copyrighted to the Alumni Association of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:

 

“Sons of M.I.T.” (piano-vocal score)

Words and music by John B. Wilbur, arranged by Frank D. Gage

Copyright 1944

 

“Sons of M.I.T. March Version” (piano-vocal score)

Words and music by John B. Wilbur, arranged by Frank D. Gage

Copyright 1944

 

The MIT Libraries would like to share this material in association with the MIT 150 celebration (on the MIT 150 timeline website http://mit150.mit.edu/timeline) and through the MIT Libraries’s web-based archive for research and educational materials (http://dome.mit.edu), as well as in other contexts that may arise over time.  The Lewis Music Library receives many inquiries about “MIT music,” so we know there is a strong interest in this material.  It would be a great service to MIT Alumni and other library patrons to have these two vocal scores available online alongside other MIT-related musical compositions digitized by the Libraries.  

We are therefore requesting a perpetual and worldwide right to reproduce the material and migrate it to other digital media formats as needed for access, storage, and preservation, and to publicly display, perform or exhibit, or distribute digital files made from the material for scholarly, educational, and research purposes. 

We very much appreciate your consideration of this request.  Please reply to this email indicating whether you grant this permission to the MIT Libraries, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

 

Sincerely,

Beverly Turner, Digital Operations Coordinator

Ann Marie Willer, Preservation Librarian
