During the Fall of 2009, Tyler Dube, civil engineering senior, had the honor of leading the illustrious 380-member Longhorn Band onto the football field. It’s the second consecutive year an engineering student has been named drum major, and the 12th overall in the band’s history.
Master Sgt. Randy Ellis and Joel Furlough, of the 165th and 116 CES, respectively, inspect an exterior electrical box at Helemano Plantation in Wahiawa, Hawaii June 17. Members of the 165th CES (Savannah Air National Guard) and 116th CES (Robins Air Force Base, Ga.), will complete a critical section of the Aloha Garden Project, an initative of the U.S. military's Innovation Readiness Training program. The project will create a much needed senior citizen living community on the existing campus for special needs and handicap citizens. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Chelsea Smith)
The "Frieze of American History" is painted to appear as a carved stone bas-relief frieze but is actually a trompe-l'œil fresco cycle depicting 19 scenes from American history. The "frieze" occupies a band immediately below the 36 windows. Brumidi designed the frieze and prepared a sketch in 1859 but did not begin painting until 1878. Brumidi painted seven and a half scenes. While working on "William Penn and the Indians," Brumidi fell off the scaffolding and held on to a rail for 15 minutes until he was rescued. He died a few months later in 1880. After Brumidi's death, Filippo Costaggini was commissioned to complete the eight and a half remaining scenes in Brumidi's sketches. He finished in 1889 and left a 31-foot (9 m) gap due to an error in Brumidi's original design. In 1951, Allyn Cox completed the frieze.
Except for the last three panels named by Allyn Cox, the scenes have no particular titles and many variant titles have been given. The names given here are the names used by the Architect of the Capitol, which uses the names that Brumidi used most frequently in his letters and that were used in Edward Clark and by newspaper articles.
