Newspapers around the state carried handout information from the colleges and universities -- back when colleges and universities were considered important parts of our world. This one is from March 1923, the Connersville News-Examiner, announcing that E.C. was about to begin a football program. The highlighted words are the result of the search criteria. I was actually looking for something completely different.
John Harmon was coach. The first game for the Harmonites was against Merom College (also known as Union Christian). That matches up with the scores listed on a related link. The Merom game, won by the Purples 19-0, was on Oct. 19. Game was at Bosse Field. First TD -- Small to Stuteville for 30 yards.
Merom-UC was a college in Sullivan Co., north of Tee-town. I have no idea why anyone would go to college there, so I guess they quit having one. Wiky says: At UCC women could study to be doctors, lawyers, ministers, or home-makers. Wow, a doctor-housewife! Let me find this woman!
Related clip is from Evansville Journal, Aug. 1923. Snip-and-clip options create unusual outcomes on type size. I won't be doing this regularly, but it was fun to stumble over some old-timey news. E.C. moved from Moores Hill, Indiana, after a fire destroyed their campus building in 1917. I think 1923 is the same year they built the Olmstead shrine. No idea where this dorm was to be located or how long it lasted. That information is available. I just don't feel like looking for it at the moment.
