A loud, mechanically jovial martial air is the “Stein Song” of the University of Maine. It had become popular through the efforts of Hubert Prior (“Rudy”) Vallee, who, born 30 years ago in Island Pond, Vermont, had grown up in Westbrook, Maine, gone to Yale University, become a crooner. The State of Maine has been hunting an official song. “How about the ‘Stein Song’?,” asked someone. Replied Chairman Daniel W. Hoegg of the State of Maine Publicity Bureau last week: “The ‘Stein Song’ may help the University of Maine, but it doesn’t say a thing about Maine as a State. What we want is a new song to tell the glories of Maine.”
