The Maine Stein Song
The Maine Stein Song is the school song of the University of Maine. Its lyrics were written by UMaine student Lincoln Colcord in 1902 and its tune was based on ''Opie'', a march written by E. A. Fenstad. It was popularized in 1930 by Rudy Vallée and became the only college song to become a number one hit.
==Beginnings==
In 1902, Adelbert W. Sprague, a sophomore at the University of Maine, discovered ''Opie'', a march written by United States Army bandmaster E. A. Fenstad, while he was playing in an orchestra in Bar Harbor, Maine. In 1904, Sprague, then a senior and the school's band leader, was preparing for a concert to be held at the University. He handed part of ''Opie'' to his roommate, Lincoln Colcord, and asked him to provide some Maine-themed lyrics for the song. Colcord wrote the lyrics in half an hour and Sprague then rearranged the song slightly to fit the lyrics. The song was presented to the faculty advisor on music affairs, who disapproved of it on the grounds that it was a drinking song and it would be in poor taste for the state university of a state that prohibited the manufacture and sale of liquor to have its students singing such as song. However, Sprague had a chance meeting with University of Maine President George Emory Fellows, who told him that the lyrics were all right. The song was a hit at a concert and became popular with the student body.
The lyrics were first published on February 15, 1905 in the University of Maine magazine ''The Maine Campus''. The song was copyrighted on June 23, 1910 by Carl Fisher, who owned the copyright to ''Opie'', under the name ''"Opie" – The University of Maine Stein Song''.
