Abstract/Description: | Exhibit labels: [1] May Day (1930). May Day was an annual pageant presented by the University's women students. Activities included the crowning of the May Queen, a procession of the queen and her court, and a may pole dance performed by fellow students. [2]Class Schedules (1930-1931). These schedules include classes held both before and after the University moved to the new Bancroft campus. [3] Commencement Program (1931). [4] Faculty Bulletin (1933-1934). Faculty bulletins were published yearly and contained announcements from the President, committee lists, faculty meetings, and discussion of various University operations and issues. This bulletin includes a request for faculty to reserve their parking spaces in an effort to resolve parking problems on campus. [5] Glass Bowl Under Construction (1936). The University's football stadium was built in 1936 and was one of 65 Works Progress Administration projects built in Ohio that year. Originally known as University Stadium, it was constructed entirely with manual labor, with workers using shovels, picks, and wheelbarrows. The stadium was empty from 1942-1945, as football had been discontinued due to World War II, and the facility fell into disrepair as a result. It was re-named the Glass Bowl in 1946 due to the efforts of Wayne Kohn, a Libbey-Owens-Ford employee who had the idea to use glass – a major industry in Toledo – for the stadium's renovations. The Glass Bowl Dedication Game was played on December 7, 1946, with the Rockets defeating Bates College 21-12. |
