Sinopsis

Ohio State Athletics, 1879-1959 represents the first archival project devoted to describing the history of The Ohio State UniversityâÇÖs athletic program, including the growth of athletics at OSU and the achievements of some of the many athletes who played for Ohio State in those early years. The work was undertaken by James E. Pollard, who, in 1959, continued the work of The Ohio State University Development Fund, the Alumni Varsity 'O' Association, and early Athletic Director L.áW. St. John to author OSUâÇÖs first athletic history. Unsurprisingly, football is emphasized in the book because, even then as now, it drew the greatest public interest and provided a majority of the athletic departmentâÇÖs budget. Besides turning to the archives of the Lantern and the Makio to research the book, Pollard also relied on conversations with past Board of Trustees Secretary Carl E. Steeb, Professor Charles W. Foulk who actually competed for Ohio State as a student on the universityâÇÖs first basketball team, and then current Athletic Director, Richard C. Larkins. Because many of the universityâÇÖs earliest records were lost or destroyed, a significant amount of information also came from Columbus newspapers, Alumni Monthly, and official records of the faculty, trustees, and presidents.
