  • 2005 Annual Report
    Preserving and Promoting Western Heritage and Values The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede is a volunteer supported, not-for-profi t organization that preserves and promotes western heritage and values. Our organization began as an agricultural fair in 1886, but continues to grow and evolve in step with Calgary. TABLE OF CONTENTS Organizational Highlights 01 Financial Report 07 Consolidated Financial Statements 10 Stampede Leadership 24 Our Volunteers 26 Full-time Staff 40 Sponsors 42 2005 Calgary Stampede Event Champions 45 1 ORGANIZATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS The Calgary Exhibition & Stampede had a remarkable 2005. It was a year of special celebration and signifi cant achievement, a year of embracing the past while pushing ahead toward a bold, new future. Our entire organization – from the 2,200 volunteers and 1,600 employees, to our many sponsors and community partners – should look back with pride, and look ahead with excitement. A MEMORABLE CENTENNIAL With the history of the Stampede so entwined with the history of Alberta, it was natural for our organization to embrace the province’s Centennial with a full year of initiatives that celebrated western heritage and values. Among our many Centennial highlights, we: established the Calgary Stampede Western Legacy Awards that honoured Dr. Frits Pannekoek, Ryan Perez, and Roy and Lenore McLean for their unique contributions to our heritage; conducted a youth essay contest that saw Alyssa Wheeler, Meredith Pritchard and Beth Anna Heslop each earn a place at the front of the 2005 Stampede Parade; unveiled

    UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H. Norwood, Chair ____________________________ Dr. Robert L. Griswold ____________________________ Dr. Ben Keppel ____________________________ Dr. Paul A. Gilje ____________________________ Dr. Ralph R. Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.
