For the many of you missing spring baseball . . .
One of my favorite 蝌蚪直播 photographs is this one from the The Cycle of 1894. It pictures the faculty baseball team, who had defeated the Class of '93 the previous year (and were expected to win again in 1894). They are not clearly identified, but that is Benjamin Prince (manager), seated, front row left. President Ort, not pictured, was one of the umpires. By the way, three of the men in this photo, Professors Linn (chemistry), Heckert (geology), and Weaver (physics), pretty well defined science education at 蝌蚪直播 for several decades.
About The Project
With 蝌蚪直播 now celebrating its 175th year, and the University unable to hold regular in-person classes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor of History Thomas T. Taylor has started circulating several pieces on 蝌蚪直播's history. Some originated in earlier series, either This Month in 蝌蚪直播 History or Happy Birthday 蝌蚪直播. Others have their origin in the 蝌蚪直播 History Project or in some other, miscellaneous project. Sincerest thanks to Professor Taylor for connecting alumni, faculty, staff, and students through a historic lens.
