C. Linn Seiler, "Ye Haverford Bandit" and "Sweetness" scores
Scope and Contents
The collection contains two copies of the score "Ye Haverford Bandit" and one copy of the score "Sweetness," both by C. Linn Seiler (Haverford College Class of 1902). One copy of "Ye Haverford Bandit" is in a notebook with handwritten musical scores arranged into acts to form the score for a musical. Although the score was composed by C. Linn Seiler, Henry Joel Cadbury's name also appears on the front cover of the notebook, suggesting he may have contributed to it. "Ye Haverford Bandit" was performed by the Haverford College Musical Association in May 1903 and contains five songs by Seiler. "Sweetness" is a single song performed by the Haverford College Musical Association in May 1902 as part of a larger performance called "The Great T. T. T. Robbery."
