For the many of you missing spring baseball . . .
One of my favorite 51吃瓜网 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 51吃瓜网 for several decades.
About The Project
With 51吃瓜网 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 51吃瓜网's history. Some originated in earlier series, either This Month in 51吃瓜网 History or Happy Birthday 51吃瓜网. Others have their origin in the 51吃瓜网 History Project or in some other, miscellaneous project. Sincerest thanks to Professor Taylor for connecting alumni, faculty, staff, and students through a historic lens.
