| dc.description | <strong>Exhibit labels:</strong><br /><br />[1] Inaugural program for the re-dedication of the football stadium as the Glass Bowl (1946)<br /><br />[2] Renewal of athletic relations between UToledo and Bowling Green State University (1947-1948). Athletic relations between UToledo and BGSU ended in 1936 due to fights between players. Ten years later, students criticized the university for the separation, seeing BGSU as a natural rival that would guarantee packed houses. The Collegian campaigned for a post-season game in 1947 and athletic relations renewed on February 28, 1948. A six-foot peace pipe was designed to award to the winner – Bowling Green, 42 to 38.<br /><br />[3] Freshman Camp (1953). Established in 1951, Freshman Camp served as an orientation for incoming freshman to the University of Toledo. Upper classmen served as camp counselors and members of the faculty and administration visited to meet and answer questions from the new students.<br /><br />[4] Basketball Fix (1951). During the basketball team's best season in years, with eight consecutive wins, rumors began to circulate that gamblers were betting on the games. The UToledo team suddenly started losing, and six months after a December 1950 game at Niagara, the New York District Attorney named three Toledo students in connection with point shaving. The three student each received $500 to ensure that they would not win by more than 7 points. <br /><br />[5] Construction of the new Library Building (1952-1953). Previously housed on the fifth floor of University Hall, the library quickly outgrew its space and plans started for a new building in 1948. University Librarian, Mary Gillham, assisted in the design and plan, and published an article on its specifications that became an inspiration for the design of other libraries in the country. It opened in 1953 and later renamed Gillham Hall in honor of the long-serving librarian (1921-1969).<br /><br />[6] Proposal for a Medical College at the University of Toledo (1954). Interest in reestablishing a medical college in Toledo surged in early 1954 and a committee of city, hospital, and university administrators investigated the possibility. The University of Toledo was particularly interested in adding a medical college to its offerings and purchased land for that purpose. Ultimately, however, a medical college did not return to Toledo until 1964 and was established as an independent institution.<br /><br />[7] First issue of Tower magazine (1955). Literary magazine consisting of student talent. | |
