Game Day 2001 Message from the President Otterbein College this year continues its proud tradition of athletic and academic excellence. As the new millennium begins, Otterbein has enjoyed over 100 years of intercollegiate competition. During that time, the College's mission has been to balance academics and athletic competition. Our commitment has been to the whole person, both in and out of the classroom. Our coaches are teachers first, mentors who make deep and lasting impressions on their students. While the drive to win is important, our real commitment lies in developing leadership traits and the competitive spirit, which will C. Brent DeVore aid our scholar athletes throughout their lives. On behalf of Otterbein's faculty, students and administration, we thank you for your support of Otterbein's athletics programs in 2001-2002 and for your continuing involvement in their successes. 2001 Football Schedule Sept. 8 COLLEGE OF MOUNT ST.
