Discovered this completely by accident, not sure if anyone had posted this here before. John Philip Sousa wrote a march in 1924 for Marquette after they granted him an honorary doctorate.
As a former instrument player, I had never come across this. Pretty cool!

Back in the day, Wm. J. Geisheker would have his band play this at the annual Spring Concert, hey?
