DR. F. LEE BOWLING (1941-1947; Alpha Iota), University of Colorado, was elected as the Grand President at the 11th Biennial Convention, held in 1941 at Oregon State University. With a new constitution, a reorganization which created districts with Governors to assist in an expansion program, and with the Fraternity’s magazine expanded and renamed The PODIUM, the Fraternity’s future looked bright. However, World War II brought drastic changes; only five chapters were able to remain active during the conflict due to loss of members to the war effort. Following the war, a program and a set of procedures had to be developed to reactivate dormant chapters. With the assistance of band directors, national officers, and district governors, everything began to function again. The 12th Biennial Convention scheduled for 1943 and the 13th Biennial Convention scheduled for 1945 were not held. The 14th Biennial Convention was held at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater in 1947. It was at this convention that Kappa Kappa Psi inaugurated the “National Intercollegiate Band.” The National Intercollegiate Band was Dr. Bowling’s cherished ideal, and through the years he had worked to develop a plan that firmly established the organization as a national service project for the Fraternity and Sorority. Dr. William D. Revelli served as guest conductor for the Second National Intercollegiate Band in 1949.
