Indeed, the University so loathed their practices that the administration once tried to stamp the group out.The Pierian Sodality—named after Pieria, the home of the mythological muses—was started as a group intended for “mutual improvement in instrumental music” in 1808 by either six or eight undergraduate musicians, depending on whom you believe.

Mangat was offered a job at headquarters in 2006, and this time Preet went along (then fortuitously landed another fellowship, at Harvard). But both intend to spend more time in India--in part to raise their young daughter biculturally. Moreover, he says, his stint in his homeland now defines his career.
