Harmon's Histories: UM's thespians nationally known for 100 years … their bear cub, too
In 1908, UM's Quill and Dagger Society was “revived” with the production of “Tulu,” to be followed by “two other light productions, ‘The Box of Monkees' and 'Mr. Bob.' Soon after, the Quill and Dagger Society became known as the “Montana Masquers” student group, and in 1918 “the group became the Masquer Theatre Organization, then later the Montana Masquers.”
