They had their humble beginning at the Arthur Jordon Conservatory of Music in Indianapolis where they first met and made music together. Discovering that they had mutual tastes and a happy blend of voices, the group decided to try to apply there talents commercially.The  foursome is especially noted for its versatility. Toss, the drummer, doubles on trumpet.His brother,Don, the guitar man, splits vocal solos with Hal, who handles trumpet, bass and French horn. Bob played both bass and trombone.

The University Four are an up-and-coming instrumental combo. These boys also do a wonderful job in the vocal department. The group consisted of Phil Zito on accordion; Joe Giordano, violinist; Jimmy McNichol, guitarist and Pete Rogers on bass.
