Item College Athletics: Evolution of Structure and Control at the University of Minnesota 1893 - 1936(Journal of Opinions, Ideas & Essays (JOIE), 2022-07-26) Engstrand, GaryCollege athletics and its governance has a long, circuitous history. In its infancy, athletic activities at the University of Minnesota were governed solely by the student players. In 1893, the faculty gained control through membership in the Advisory Board of Athletic Control (renamed the Board of Control in 1894) and, later reinforced by Big Ten Conference rules, maintained that control for nearly three decades. Ultimately, in 1922, athletics and physical education were to be directed by professionals, while the faculty, through membership in the University Senate Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics (SCIA, established in 1912), retained a major voice in the management of athletics. In 1930, in response to a study of intercollegiate athletics by the Carnegie Foundation, SCIA powers were greatly reduced; a statement on “faculty control of athletics” was included in the updated SCIA constitution to demonstrate continued adherence of Minnesota to the rules of the Big Ten, but, in reality, control now “entailed institutional management review and administration.” This is the carefully researched story of the evolution of the control of athletics at the University of Minnesota, 1893 – 1936.Item The Governance of Athletics at the University of Minnesota: Eras and Episodes in the Administration of Sports(Gary Engstrand, 1986-10) Engstrand, GaryItem The Northrop Auditorium Inscription (It was harder than you think)(Gary Engstand; John Ramsay, 2004-11) Engstrand, Gary; Ramsay, JohnItem The Northrop Auditorium Inscription (It was harder than you think.)(Journal of Opinions, Ideas & Essays (JOIE), 2021-03-04) Engstrand, Gary; Ramsay, JohnIn January 1928, University of Minnesota President Coffman appointed a committee, chaired by Dean Guy Stanton Ford, to compose an inscription of 50 words for the façade of the new Northrop Memorial Auditorium. The committee did not begin meeting until February 1929 and labored for most of the year before producing an inscription acceptable to most of its members and President Coffman and approved by the Board of Regents. It was a quotation from Paul's Letter to the Philippians. But the individual responsible for having the inscription cut into the façade, the founding director of the University's School of Architecture, Professor F. M. Mann, refused to have the work done. Nothing happened for five years, in the midst of the Depression. In the spring of 1935 Vice President Middlebrook got the ball rolling again, and Mann brought in an inscription consultant who worked with the committee; they started over from scratch and deliberated at length again. There was finally agreement in May 1936.Item Significant Events and Issues in Senate History, 1912-2012(2016) Engstrand, GaryItem Significant Events and Issues in Senate History: The First 50 Years: 1912-1913 to 1961-1962 (University and Faculty Senates)(University of Minnesota, 2013) Engstrand, GaryItem Significant Events and Issues in Senate History: The Second 50 Years: 1962-1963 to 2011-2012 (University and Faculty Senates)(University of Minnesota, 2013) Engstrand, Gary
