The Facility
The facility, eventually declared the Hawkins-Adams-Long Hall of Honor, was built to house the hall of fame. The hall is named for chancellors Jack Hawkins, Jr., Ralph Wyatt Adams, and founder of the Sound of the South, John M. Long. The hall is located adjacent to the building that houses the band program, John M. Long Hall. The facility is designed to allow for use by student music recitals, organizational music programs, and a regular weekly music recital, held every Wednesday.
Nomination to the Hall of Fame is open to any person who has distinguished themselves in the fields of band and music who have reached the age of 65. This includes those who have already died and would receive the award posthumously.

Famous quotes containing the word facility:
“Learning has been as great a Loser by being shut up in Colleges and Cells, and secluded from the World and good Company. By that Means, every Thing of what we call Belles Lettres became totally barbarous, being cultivated by Men without any Taste of Life or Manners, and without that Liberty and Facility of Thought and Expression, which can only be acquir’d by Conversation.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The three great ends which a statesman ought to propose to himself in the government of a nation, are,—1. Security to possessors; 2. Facility to acquirers; and, 3. Hope to all.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
