Established in 1910, the University is known best for the strength of its educational program and the standing of its faculty. The University is com- posed of three undergraduate colleges—College of Liberal Arts, College of Education and College of Business Administration— and a Graduate School which offers curricula leading to the mas- ter's degree in seven fields. All colleges have the highest level of accreditation. The University is fully accredited, with a faculty of 288 mem- bers, with more than 60% of the full time members possessing their doctorate degrees. Total enrollment last September (1961) was 7,659, which included 6,833 on campus and 826 in branches and extension classes in northwest Ohio. This year's estimated enrollment should approximate 7,200 on campus and 8,000 over-all. The University lies at the northeast edge of Bowling Green, a city of nearly 14,000 people in the heart of a region of rich agri- cultural lands, extensive industry and varied business enterprises. Located 23 miles south of Toledo, the University has a beautiful 800-acre campus, more than 60 permanent buildings, with more under construction, and modern equipment and facilities neces- sary for carrying on a broad, well-rounded program of university education in the highest American tradition. Included on campus are a 12,000-seat stadium, a 5,700-seat gymnasium, golf course, natatorium, tennis courts and other play- ing fields; CAA-approved airport with surfaced runways; speech and hearing clinic; reading center; library with more than 340,000 volumes; a beautiful chapel; and other educational facilities. Both Army and Air Force have ROTC units on campus. 1962 SPRING GAME An underdog Brown team, composed of the second team and other top reserves, spotted the first-string Whites an opening quarter touchdown before coming back with two of its own in taking a 14-6 victory in the annual spring intrasquad game May 10. Assistant coaches Bob Dudley and Jim Ruehl coached the winners, whose passing attack helped spell the difference over the team directed by Bob Gibson and Bill Mallory, the other two as- sistants. The Browns hit on seven of 12 passes for 108 yards, com- pared with just four of 12 and 43 yards for the Whites. The rush- ing statistics were practically even, with 201 yards for the losers to 196 for the Browns. Inability to sustain any long drives and work the ball well when near the goal line affected both teams. The Whites scored on a 10-yard pass from Bob Fearnside to Don Lisbon on their first series of downs, but an injury to Lisbon on the play took some of the offensive punch from the Whites the rest of the game. Sophomore Tom Reicosky set up the Browns' first TD with a dazzling 57-yard scamper in the second period. Sophomore full- back Guy McCombs then plunged for the final two yards to tie the score. Asa Elsea kicked the eventual winning point. McCombs also scored the final tally in the fourth period on a 1-yard run, Elsea again converting. Browns 0 7 0 7 — 14 Whites 6 0 0 0 — 6 Whites—Lisbon, 10-yard pass from Fearnside (run failed) Browns—McCombs, 2-yard run (Elsea kick) Browns—McCombs, 1-yard run (Elsea kick) THE 1962 SCHEDULE Date Opponent Time Sept. 22 MARSHALL (HIGH SCHOOL DAY) (MAC) 2 P.M.
