The purpose of this paper is to understand how the relationship between BGSU and Baldwin developed. I constructed a historical, chronological narrative utilizing primary sources including various documents from BGSU’s archival collection to understand Baldwin’s affiliation with the university.

    USA ALPINE SKIING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: The United States has competed in Alpine skiing at every Olympic Winter Games at which the sport has been on the Olympic Program, which is since 1936. The first great USA Alpine skiing Olympian was Gretchen Fraser, who won two medals at the 1948 St. Moritz Games, with a slalom gold and a combined silver. She was followed by Andrea Mead-Lawrence who starred at the 1952 Oslo Games, winning two gold medals in the giant slalom and slalom. No Americans won medals in 1956 but in 1960 at Squaw Valley, Penny Pitou won two silver medals in downhill and giant slalom, with Betsy Snite winning the slalom silver medal. Through 1960, no American man had won a medal with the best finish to that date a 4th- place by Tom Corcoran in the 1960 giant slalom. American men finally broke through to win Alpine skiing Olympic medals in 1964 at Innsbruck when Billy Kidd and Jimmy Heuga placed 2-3 in the slalom on the last day of the Games. It would be another 16 years before a US man won a medal in Alpine, when Phil Mahre took silver in the slalom at Lake Placid. But American women continued to win medals, with Jean Saubert winning a silver and a bronze in 1964, and in 1972, Barbara Cochran won gold in the slalom while Susie Corrock got the downhill bronze. In 1976 at Innsbruck, Cindy Nelson came through for a downhill bronze medal. American men continued on the medal podium in 1984, when Bill Johnson won the downhill, and Phil Mahre and his twin brother, Steve, went 1-2 in the slalom.

  • Johnny Ski School
    The original materials in this publication are from Estonian author Kaarle Zilmer and the artist is Ylle Meister. We are very pleased that they allowed us to adapt this so our best U.S. athletes can give you their tips on becoming a great skier. J O H N N YS` S K I S C H O O L H e l l o ! For several years we have not had a real winter. Snow has not fallen or a sudden snow- fall has appeared and quickly melted. Therefore you have not been able to ski properly; some children do not even know how to ski. For this reason, with a little planning and gathering of ideas, JOHNNY`S SKI SCHOOL was established. We hope that you find something here useful and interesting. We hope that our ski lessons are practical for many boys and girls, because JOHNNY´S SKI SCHOOL: • Is for all children, who wish to learn to ski • Relates stories of winter, snow, nature and folk wisdom • Teaches about ski tracks, downhill slopes and jumping performance • Provides advice about ski equipment • Teaches uphill and downhill, falling and recovery, turning and braking and all ski techniques • Describes all skiing as one sporting discipline • Offers reading and ideas to work on Surely from this book you will find what TO LEARN. If someone wants to TEACH, you may also discover something. JOHNNY will be of great assistance and you will meet him on each page; his advice is worthwhile. Also helping will be ALAN ALBORN, TODD LODWICK ,NINA KEMPPEL and PICABO STREET.

  • A History of Kent State University: Nearing a Century of Kent Pride
    I This history of the University resulted from many collaborative and creative efforts,but special recognition is due William H.Hilde- brand for his authorship and guidance.Kent State University Press graciously permitted use of materials from The Years of Youth by Phillip R.Shriver and A Book of Memories, edited by William H.Hildebrand,Dean H.Keller,and Anita D. Herington.Special thanks to Jeanne M.Somers and the staff of Special Collections and Archives for their assistance. © 1998 by Kent State University September 27,1910. At first everything went wrong, the day the state commission to choose the site of the northeastern Ohio normal school came to Kent. The 4,500 residents awoke to a chill wet morning of fog so dense it smudged their weeks of work to make the village sparkle and shine. Then the wires of communication got crossed. And when the five commission members detrained at the Erie Depot at 11:00 a.m.,there was no one to welcome them because the reception committee of the Kent Board of Trade was a mile away,on the outskirts of town. They expected the state commissioners to be traveling by motorcar and were waiting to greet them along the roads coming from Wadsworth—one of many competitors for the normal school, which was much coveted for the prosperity and prestige it would bring. After some embarrassed scurrying about,the Kent men finally found the commissioners, clad them in borrowed rain gear and boots,and drove them out unpaved East Main Street to survey the farm William S.Kent was offering as site for the school.
