Donnell Stadium has been hometo The University of Findlay Oilersfootball team for 80 years. Thestadium, located on the south end ofthe city of Findlay, is also home to theFindlay High School Trojans footballteam.

The stadium, named after JamesC. Donnell, was dedicated on October27, 1928 before a Findlay High Schoolfootball game against the Toledo WaiteIndians. That cold and misty day, OttoD. Donnell, son of James C. Donnelland president of the Ohio Oil Companywhich later became Marathon OilCompany, stood before a crowd of over2,000 people and said, “We have endeavored to the best of our ability to carry out the plans in accordance with thewishes of the originator of this idea, and our only regret is that he was not spared to be present at the dedicationand to share the happiness of this occasion.” James C. Donnell’s death in 1927, one-year prior to the completionand dedication of the stadium, prevented him from taking part in the ceremony. Years earlier, James C. Donnellresolved to give the city of Findlay an athletic field. His gift of the site, where Donnell Middle School currentlyresides, was the first step towards this goal. Mr. Donnell’s son, Otto, and grandsons James II, John R. and OttoJr, carried his goal to completion after his death.

A graduate of Case Institute of Technology, now Case-Western Reserve University, O.D. Donnell called onformer classmates to serve as architects for the stadium project. It attracted attention state-wide, partly becauseof its unique physical stature for the time period and the fact it was constructed and given to the Findlay CitySchools at no cost. Tennis courts, scoreboards and a press box were later added, making Donnell Stadium oneof the premier venues for football and track events in the state of Ohio.

2010 SEASON PREVIEWThe University of Findlay football team broke through last sea-

son with a 7-4 record, their best since going 9-2 during the 2002 cam-paign. Finishing 6-4 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Confer-ence (GLIAC), the Oilers are poised to take another step forward in2010 under the guidance of head coach Jon Wauford.

On offense, the Oilers will be led by sophomore running backMonterae Williams, the reigning GLIAC Freshman of the Year, andsenior offensive lineman Nathan Schaffer, who was voted second teamall-conference in 2009.

At quarterback, the Oilers will have to replace departed seniorand record-setting signal caller Andrew Beam.

Beam, an honorable mention all-conference performer last year,threw for a school record 2,179 yards in his only season with the teamto go along with 14 touchdown passes.

The Oilers have some question marks at quarterback and willhave to settle the competition during camp as they return only twoplayers who played the position last season in red-shirt freshmen Kevan

Westenbarger and Tyler Beckman.Williams will lead a talented cast of running backs after racking

up 937 yards and six touchdowns last year in his inaugural season.The sophomore reached the 100-yard plateau in three games last yearand racked up a season-high 196 yards against Ferris State University.

Also back at running back will be sophomore Demetrius Trapps, who dashed and darted his way for 186yards rushing on only 16 carries for an average of 11.6 yards per touch in two games before sitting out the restof the year with an injury.

Schaffer will lead the Oilers offensive line as he will be entering his fourth season as a starter and likelyline-up at his usual right guard spot.

At left tackle, the Oilers will welcome back junior Tom Orlosky to begin his third year as a starter at oneof the most pivotal positions on the field.

Sophomore Scott Dearwester will handle the center duties again this fall, sophomore Tyler Johns

appears to have a hold on the right tackle position and junior John Krontz and freshman Justin Music will bebattling for the left guard position as well.

Also competing for playing time on the offensive line will be sophomore Nate Toney and red-shirt fresh-men Shane Russell and Brent Balster.

At wide receiver, the Oilers will be have to replace departed senior Mike Chambers, who broke schoolrecords for receptions (74) and yards (1,027) last season.

Leading the group of returners will be senior Dustin Zielaskiewicz, who earned honorable mention all-GLIAC honors last season after racking up 42 catches for 518 yards and five touchdowns. A threat to producebig plays all over the field, Zielaskiewicz also completed 2-of-2 passing attempts for 105 yards and a score to goalong with 25 yards rushing and 90 yards on punt returns.

Seniors Jonathan Mora and DaJerrian Smith also return after producing 296 and 275 yards respec-tively in receiving during the 2009 campaign.

The Oilers group of wide receivers does not end there however as sophomore Alex Kovach and juniorJordan VanAusdale along with a host of red-shirt and true freshmen look to play their way onto the field in 2010.

The Oilers have numerous options at the tight end position and will be led by senior Steve Winner, whohas logged 29 games in a Findlay uniform.

Sophomore Josh Kloepfer will also be in the thick of things at the tight end spot along with red-shirtfreshman Jaryd Brown while junior Terrance Schaefer will continue to perform in an H-back type role.

Defensively, the Oilers will welcome back a host of experienced veterans along with some talented new-comers to again make the unit a formidable force within the conference. They will be led by second team all-GLIAC defensive lineman Brandon Cornell, who started every game last season at defensive end.

Page 15: UF 2010 Football Media Guide

13

2010 SEASON PREVIEWCornell, a junior, had 34 total tackles to go along with 9.5 tackles for a loss and 5.0 sacks. He also led the

team with ten quarterback hurries and finished second on the team with 11 passes defended and ten pass break-ups.

Also returning to the defensive line will be sophomore Richard Sumlin, an honorable mention all-confer-ence selection after totaling 33 tackles in 11 starts, and senior Craig Hoying, who logged extensive playing timein 2009.

Look for red-shirt freshmen John Hammersmith and Shajuan Grace to also see some time on theOilers defensive line in the fall as well.

After making 118 tackles last year en route to first team all-conference honors, Joe Knopick’s graduationleft a huge void in the middle of the Oilers defense. Luckily, the Oilers have numerous options to choose from astheir linebackers appear to be the strength of their defense in 2010.

On the inside, the Oilers return sophomore Brandon Butler, who started six games last season, alongwith senior Andrew Leddy, who has totaled 31 games played during his career with Findlay.

On the outside, junior Mark Johnson and sophomore Mark Nelson look to fill the role of rush linebackerin 2010.

Sophomore Isaiah Cordell has moved over to the defense after playing offense last season and will alsosee time at linebacker along with transfers Dailyn Campbell and Terrance Williams.

The Oilers also had a good recruiting class of incoming freshman who will look to make their impact at thelinebacker position in 2010.

At defensive back, the Oilers will have to find a replacement for departed senior Anthony Fields, whobecame Findlay’s first student-athlete to ever compete in the Cactus Bowl. Fields, a first team all-conferencecorner, also showed up on numerous All-American lists after the 2009 campaign.

Luckily for the coaching staff, the team returns another gifted corner in junior Ikechi Emeaghara, anhonorable mention all-GLIAC pick last year after registering 40 tackles and three interceptions.

Across from Emeaghara will likely be red-shirt freshman Aric Jones, who took control of the spot duringspring practices and continued to develop and grow into the position.

Sophomore Gerald Mathis, who made two starts last season, or sophomore Bryan Womack, who to-taled 17 tackles in a reserve role last year, will also be in the mix for a starting spot as both players look to getmultiple repetitions in passing situations.

The Oilers return both starters at the safety position as senior Bryon Rizzi and junior Donte Johnson willplay the strong and free positions respectively in 2010.

Rizzi returns after making 58 tackles and two interceptions dur-ing his junior season while Johnson made 47 stops and two picks as asophomore.

Junior Matt Randall, who has appeared in 19 games during hiscareer, will provide depth along junior Chris Pollock and a host ofyounger players who are looking to make their mark in the secondary.

On special teams, the Oilers welcome back one of the bestkickers in the GLIAC as Cameron Stevens returns for his fourth sea-son as a starter. An honorable mention all-league pick for three straightyears, Stevens is Findlay’s all-time leader in career field goals with 34to date.

The Oilers will have to find a replacement at the punting posi-tion after losing both from a year ago.

2009 REVIEW

Page 44: UF 2010 Football Media Guide

42

After a tough 2008 season, which saw The University ofFindlay football team post a 2-9 record, better things were expectedfrom a group featuring a plethora of experience. With six of those de-feats coming by eight points or less, the Oilers seemed primed to climbup the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) stand-ings.

The 2009 season started with a bang as Findlay scored 28 firsthalf points and went on to crush Urbana 42-21 in a non-conferenceclash for its eighth consecutive opening game victory at Donnell Sta-dium.

Running back Melvin Jackson carried the offensive load with116 yards on 26 carries. He also scored two touchdowns in the open-ing half from three and two yards out.

Quarterback Andrew Beam introduced himself to Findlay fansby throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns while wide receiverMike Chambers caught two first half touchdowns and accumulated131 receiving yards in the win.

Running back Demetrius Trapps also had an impressive de-but with 129 yards on the ground.

Linebackers Andrew Leddy and Joe Knopick each made eight tackles in the game as the Blue Knightswere held to only 203 yards. Defensive back Erik Chapin, defensive lineman Brandon Cornell and defensiveback Donte Johnson all picked off Urbana passes.

The Oilers used the momentum from the opening week victory and scored 22 third quarter points tohammer GLIAC rival Tiffin University 35-13 on the road the following week as running back Monterae Williams

paced Findlay with 144 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the win.Chambers caught seven of Beam’s 12 completions and had 180 yards receiving. Beam was a productive

12-of-16 passing for 179 yards and a touchdown while wide receiver Dustin Zielaskiewicz showed off his armwith a 57-yard pass to Chambers.

Defensive back Anthony Fields made six tackles and picked off a pass for the Oilers defense.Findlay continued their impressive early season play and left no doubts about its home contest with Ferris

State. Helped by opportunistic defense and special teams, the Oilers scored 31 first quarter points and went onto beat the Bulldogs 43-7.

Williams barged in from two yards away to open the scoring. Kicker Cameron Stevens then drilled a 28-yard field to give the Oilers a 10-0 lead midway through the first.

Things went haywire for Ferris State after that as linebacker Brandon Butler recovered a blocked punt inthe end zone. On the ensuing kick-off, Zielaskiewicz recovered a fumble and minutes later Beam found fullbackTerrance Schaefer for a 2-yard touchdown. On the Bulldogs next possession, defensive back Bryon Rizzi

returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown and Findlay held a 31-0 lead going into the second quarter.Williams showed his workhorse mentality with 196 yards on 33 carries on the day.The Oilers season continued with a trip to Detroit for a key game at Wayne State the following week. The

Oilers got off to a quick start thanks to a 18-yard field goal from Stevens, but the Findlay defense allowed fivetouchdowns in a 35-21 defeat.

Williams had another solid game for Findlay with 92 yards rushing and a touchdown. Beam passed for252 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted twice. Chambers continued to be the Oilers top receiving threatwith 185 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown reception.

Johnson and Knopick led the Findlay defense with seven tackles apiece. Fields had two interceptions inthe game as well for the Oilers.

To this point in the season, the offense had been carrying the Findlay football team, but in its 14-0 winover Northwood, it was the defense which stepped up as Knopick had a stellar afternoon with a game-high 17tackles and a fumble recovery.

Beam registered 242 yards through the air to pace the offense.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) was foundedin 1972. During the two years previous to the GLIAC’s founding, several attemptswere made to create a new NCAA College Division conference. In 1971, theGreat Lakes Athletic Conference was formed, but plans for the new conferencewere put on hold and several of the participating schools subsequently withdrewtheir support. However, the idea for a new conference did not die, and since1972-73 the GLIAC has been a leader in the advancement and promotion ofintercollegiate athletics for men and women.

The charter members of the GLIAC were Grand Valley State University,Lake Superior State University, Northwood University and Saginaw Valley StateUniversity.

Expansion of the GLIAC began immediately with the addition of Ferris StateUniversity and Oakland University in 1972. Hillsdale College was accepted as amember in 1974, while Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State Universityjoined in 1975. In 1977, the conference lost its first member when Northern Michi-gan withdrew. Michigan Technological University filled the vacancy when it be-came a member in 1980.

After the 1986-87 season, Northwood left the conference and was replacedby Northern Michigan. Northwood rejoined the conference in 1992.

After the 1989 season, the conference dropped football as a sponsoredsport. The conference schools sponsoring football joined the members of theHeartland CollegiateConference in formingthe football-only Mid-west Intercollegiate

Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990.After nine years of existence as one of the pre-

mier conferences in Division II football, the MIFCmerged as part of GLIAC on July 1, 1999. With themerger, the University of Indianapolis became an as-sociate member as a football-only school.

The GLIAC entered a new era in the 1995-96school year. Prior to 1995-96, all member institutionsof the GLIAC were located in the state of Michigan.On December 14, 1994, membership was offered tothree schools located in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Theexpansion members were Ashland University ofAshland, Ohio, and Gannon University and MercyhurstCollege, both located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All threeschools began their membership July 1, 1995.

On July 1, 1997, membership was granted toThe University of Findlay, located in Findlay, Ohio.Findlay replaced Oakland University, which withdrewfrom the conference after the 1996-97 season as itmoved to NCAA Division I status. Westminster Col-lege, located in New Wilmington, Penn., became the14th member of the GLIAC when it accepted its ex-pansion offer in May of 1997. On June 30, 2000,Westminster left the conference as it changed its af-filiation to NCAA Division III.

The GLIAC commissioner, Dell Robinson, is responsible for all conference administration. AssistingRobinson are Mike McCann, Supervisor of Football Officials; Rob Doss and Bill Elk, Supervisors of BasketballOfficials; Jeff Ligney, Director of Media Relations; and Jeanne Skinner, Supervisor of Volleyball Officials.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference began sponsoring football as a league sport in theFall of 1973 with three teams, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University and Northwood University.In 1974, Hillsdale College joined the league as the fourth football team and then expanded again in 1975when Saginaw Valley State University joined the league. The number of GLIAC football teams grew to sevenin 1980 when Michigan Tech University was added, though the Huskies left the league after the 1985 season.

In 1987, Northwood left the league and was replaced by Northern Michigan University, but after the 1989season, the GLIAC dropped football as a sponsored sport. The six conference schools sponsoring football,Ferris State, Grand Valley State, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley State and Wayne State, joined thefive members of the Heartland Collegiate Conference, Ashland University, Butler University, the University ofIndianapolis, Saint Joseph’s College and Valparaiso University, in forming the football only Midwest Intercolle-giate Football Conference (MIFC), which began play in 1990. The MIFC would change again for the 1993season as Butler and Valparaiso left the conference and was replaced by Northwood and the College of SaintFrancis. The league grew to 12 teams in 1994 with the addition of Michigan Tech and stayed at 12 until SaintJoseph’s left the conference after the 1995 season.

In 1998, the league expanded to 14 teams with the addition of The University of Findlay, MercyhurstCollege and Westminster College, but would drop back to 13 with the departure of Saint Francis. Westminsterwould then leave after the 1999 season, leaving 12 teams, but Gannon University was added prior to the 2004season, giving the league a 13-team roster, which was then changed in 2008 when Gannon University andMercyhurst College left the conference and were replaced by Tiffin University. Further change came about whenLake Erie College and Ohio Dominican University entered conference play during the 2010 campaign.

After nine years of existence as one of the premier conferences in NCAA Division II football, the MIFCmerged as part of the GLIAC on July 1, 1999. The GLIAC has earned the reputation as one of the toughest anddeepest conferences in Division II with a strong postseason history.

The first team to represent the GLIAC in the NCAA Division II playoffs was Northern Michigan in 1987,when they made the semi-finals. Grand Valley State has made numerous trips to the playoffs while Ferris State,Saginaw Valley State, Northwood, Michigan Tech, Hillsdale and Ashland have appeared in the tournament overthe years.

In 2001, Grand Valley State reached the national championship game before falling to the University ofNorth Dakota, 17-14. The Lakers would redeem themselves in 2002 by claiming the league’s first NCAA DivisionII football national championship. Grand Valley State defeated Valdosta State University in the finals, 31-24.

GVSU would repeat as national champions in 2003, claiming a 10-3 win over North Dakota and would joinMichigan Tech and Northwood in the playoffs during the 2004 season. The next year, GVSU, SVSU and Northwoodall earned spots in the playoffs and the Lakers again claimed a national championship with a 21-17 win overNorthwest Missouri State.

Though many teams have made history in the GLIAC, the league can also boast upon individualaccomplishments. Saginaw Valley State defensive end Lamar King became the highest drafted NCAA Divi-sion II player in history when the Seattle Seahawks chose him with the 22nd overall pick in the first round ofthe 1999 NFL Draft. In 2002, Grand Valley State quarterback Curt Anes was named the Harlon Hill Trophywinner as the Division II Player of the Year while Wayne State running back Joique Bell accomplished thesame feat during the 2009 campaign.

pionship game, but fell 7-0 to Concordia University.He had to wait 13 years to get back to the NAIA Division II

National Championship game but it was well worth the wait as his1 9 9 2squad pro-duced his second National Championship with a 12-1record after beating Linfield College 26-13 for the title.

NAIA scholar-athletes and one NAIA Player of the Year.He also helped transition the Oilers from NAIA to NCAA Division II,

in which they became a full-time member in 2000, competing in the GreatLakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC).

All of Findlay’s success has not come without personal accoladesfor Strahm. He has been named NAIA District 22 Coach of the Year anamazing 12 times, Hoosier-Buckeye Conference Coach of the Year ninetimes, Mid-State Football Association Coach of the Year twice and NAIA’stop coaching honor, National Coach of the Year, four times during his stel-lar career with the Oilers.

Harold Davis (Westminster), Darrell Green (Texas A & I), GarneyHenley (Huron), Jackie Hunt (Marshall), Dan Ross (Northeaster) and Wil-liam Stromberg (John Hopkins) will also be inducted as players.

Strahm has also released a book on his life, which is titled “Just CallMe Coach”.

The book was published and released in December of 2008.“Just Call Me Coach,” written by Lima, Ohio freelance writer John

Grindrod, chronicles not only Strahm’s success on the football field, but also his battles for survival against heartdisease, stroke and cancer. Inspirational and full of anecdotes from a coaching career that spanned nearly 40years, “Just Call Me Coach” portrays the character and competitiveness that made Strahm one of the mosthonored and beloved coaches in the nation.

Jim Tressel, head football coachat The Ohio State University, said, “Butperhaps the greatest story ever writtenin this state that revolves around thisgame is the story of the legendary DickStrahm.”

Dick Vitale, television analyst forESPN, said, “This book will touch youwith the story of one man whose desireto succeed and courage in overcomingadversity made him a winner both onand off the field.”

Readers get a glimpse of his up-bringing in Toledo, Ohio; his formativeyears as a coach at Lakota, Bryan andWarren Western Reserve high schools;and his foray into Division I football asa defensive coach at the University ofToledo and Kansas State University.

In a turnabout, he decided to be-come head coach at small Findlay Col-lege, arriving in 1976. In a brief four sea-sons, he turned a struggling programinto a national champion.

Coach Strahm proved it wasn’ta fluke by earning three more nationaltitles before retiring with a 183-64-5record in 1998 after 24 years at Findlay.

The University of Findlay foot-ball program enjoyed great successwhen they competed in the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics(NAIA) before jumping to the NationalCollegiate Association of Athletics(NCAA) Division II ranks. During theOilers time in the NAIA, their footballteam picked up four national titles andwas considered one of the premierprograms in the nation.

The storied success beganduring the 1978 season when Findlaywent 11-1 under the guidance of Hallof Fame coach Dick Strahm. TheOilers reached the NAIA nationalchampionship game in 1978 but wereupended 7-0 by Concordia University

in the finals.Ben Finch, Pat Gibson and Rick Hatfield were all named all-American after leading the Oilers during

the 1978 campaign. Finch was a standout defensive end, Gibson anchored the offensive line as a mauling guardand Hatfield was a threat on the outside of the offense as a standout wide receiver.

In 1979, Strahm again led the Oilers back to the national title game, this time picking up the trophy with a51-6 win over Northwestern University. The victory gave the Oilers their first ever national championship andestablished the program as one of the best in the nation. Findlay finished the remarkable year with a 10-1-1record.

Several players from the 1979 squad were rewarded for their work on the gridiron Gibson and Hatfieldagain earned all-American honors and were joined by stellar running back Nelson Boldon who ran throughdefenders on his way to the prestigious award.

The Oilers would then make the playoffs during the 1983, 1984 and 1985 seasons but failed to advancemore than two rounds. After a dry spell so to speak, Findlay would then reach the playoffs again in 1991 beforeclaiming the 1992 title after defeating Linfield College 26-13. The Oilers finished the 1992 campaign with a 12-1record.

Anchored by the defense duringthe 1992 season, linebacker Bob

Heitkamp and defensive lineman Chris

Smith were both named all-American af-ter helping the Oilers win the nationalchampionship for the second time inschool history.

Findlay would continue to play topnotch football in 1993 and 1994, makingthe playoffs in both of those years, be-fore regaining their national title in 1995.The Oilers earned a share of the title dueto their 21-21 tie against Central Wash-ington University in the championshipgame as they wrapped up the 1995 sea-son with a 10-1-2 record.

Individually, the Oilers had fourplayers earn all-American honors during

the 1995 campaign. Cal Dietz, Nate

Arnold, Ray Long and Nate

Weihrauch were the recipients of theaward.

Dietz played along the offen-sive line, Arnold was a standout line-man on the defensive side of the ball,Long wrapped up hordes of ball carri-ers from his linebacker position andWeihrauch dominated the defensivesecondary.

In 1996, Findlay would finish12-1 but a loss to Western Washing-ton University in the third round of theplayoffs ended their chances for back-to-back championships.

The 1997 season will go downas one of the best ever at UF as theOilers crushed every opponent on their way to a perfect 14-0 record and their fourth and final NAIA NationalChampionship. The Oilers out-scored their opponents 567-179 during the season and were led by quarterbackBo Hurley who was named the NAIA Player of the Year.

A first team all-American, Hurley was joined by Darrell Ramsey, Tom Hanson, Bart Conley and Craig

Aukerman as all-American during the record setting season.Ramsey was one of Hurley’s favorite targets from

the tight end position, Hanson was a reliable force alongthe offensive line, Conley was a stout linebacker andAukerman patrolled the secondary game-by-game fromhis defensive back position.

The high time of the Oilers success in the NAIAcame under the tuteledge of Strahm who wrapped uphis career with 21 winning seasons. He guided Findlayto 12 appearances in the NAIA playoffs, accumulatinga 19-7-1 record, and was responsible for all four of theOilers national championships. Strahm and his squadwas also very tough to beat at home as the Oilers went117-26-2 (.814) against NAIA competition which in-cluded 21 of their 33 shutout victories when he wascoaching.

From a conference standpoint, Strahm led theOilers during the NAIA days to at least a share of 13conference titles despite being an independent for eightyears.

UF HISTORYThe University of Findlay has come a

long way since its founding in 1882, andproudly celebrated its 125th anniversary in2007. In recent years, enrollment has grownto more than 4,500 undergraduate andgraduate students.

A physical plant encompassing 248acres provides facilities to serve more than60 majors and eight graduate degrees anda doctor of pharmacy.

The Churches of God, General Con-ference, established in 1830 in Pennsylva-nia, was looking in 1881 for a location tofound an institution of higher education. Atthe same time, the thriving town of Findlay,population 4,633, was eager to attract a col-lege that would add to the prestige and pros-perity of the town.

An agreement was reached in whichthe citizens of the town donated ten acres of

land valued at $10,000 and $20,000 toward the construction of the building, which was estimated as costing$50,000. The Churches of God were to make up the balance, or roughly half the cost to begin construction onthe centerpiece of campus.

The certificate of incorporation was filed with the state of Ohio on January 28, 1882, and was signed bythe Secretary of State on February 2. The board of incorporation, consisting of six members of the Church ofGod and three citizens of Findlay, then met on February 8, at which time 18 trustees were formally elected andthe first board of trustees meeting held.

Work began in the fall of 1883, with rock for the foundation hauled by horse and wagon to the site.Limestone, cut stone, brick and lumber from the local area were used in the construction of Old Main. Thecornerstone was laid in May 1884, with the first 70 students matriculating at Findlay College on September 1,1886.

According to Dr. G. Richard Kern, professor emeritus of history, it was intended in the beginning forFindlay College to be a liberal arts institution. In 1893, Findlay College acquired the Findlay Business Schooland a Conservatory of Music, and later added a “normal school” to educate teachers. All were programs whichmet the needs of the community.

During its early years, Findlay College managed to construct in 1925 what was later named the RenningerGymnasium, build a new Carrothers Home for the President in 1933, achieve state and national accreditationsby 1934 and create the Winebrenner Graduate School of Divinity in 1942. All gave the College a unique atmo-sphere, which aided in the growth of campus.

The College weathered many adversities, including the Great Depression during the late 1920’s and1930’s when faculty salaries were slashed by an incredible 40 percent.

A devastating fire in Old Main during 1938 also set the College back, burning most of the first floor, andWorld War II, which left only 132 students from 1943-44. Most of the students were female as the male studentswere called to serve their country in the war.

From 1955-70, the College embarked on a building boom, which gave new life to campus. The buildingboom consisted of the construction of six residence halls and a student union, a library and new facilities for finearts, sciences, and physical education.

Beginning in the 1970s, Findlay began developing a number of market-driven programs, including theIntensive English Language Institute for international students, equestrian studies and weekend college forworking adults in the area, allowing them to hold a job and attend school at the same time.

Building on those successes, Findlay has created a number of specialty programs such as majors in pre-

Page 89: UF 2010 Football Media Guide

87

UF HISTORYveterinary medicine, hospitality manage-ment, and environmental, safety and occu-pational health management.

Findlay also established manyGraduate degrees to gain a competitiveedge in the field of education. These de-grees included: athletic training, business,education, liberal studies, occupationaltherapy, physical therapy, teaching Englishto speakers of other languages (TESOL)and bilingual education, and environmental,safety and health management. These pro-grams attract students from across the na-tion, as well as serve students in northwestOhio.

On July 1, 1989, the institutionchanged its name from Findlay College toThe University of Findlay in recognition ofthe growth in enrollment and the addition ofgraduate programming.

In the decade that followed, a second construction boom provided modern facilities for the sciences,visual arts, health professions, weight training, athletics and English riding. Further additions since 2000 haveincluded student living spaces and offices in the UF Village, townhouse apartments, an outdoor sports complexand the purchase of the former Findlay campus of Owens Community College.

Boasting a long tradition of excellence in athletics, The University of Findlay currently fields 23 intercol-legiate National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II teams and has won numerous regional tour-naments over the years. UF also has achieved national championships in football, wrestling, and English andwestern riding.

The Oilers as they are known, participate in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’scross country, english and western equestrian, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoortrack and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s andwomen’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, volleyball and wrestling. UF also offers cheerleadingand many intramural activities.

The athletic teams compete in theGreat Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Confer-ence (GLIAC), composed of teams fromMichigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The University of Findlay English andWestern equestrian teams compete in theIntercollegiate Horse Show Association(IHSA). Both programs are widely consid-ered to be at the top in their field from a na-tional perspective.

Overall, The University of Findlay hasevolved into a comprehensive university witha strong emphasis on equipping students forthe job market. Although the focus is oncareer preparation, the liberal arts remainembedded in the curriculum, Dr. Kernpointed out. “We meet the needs of students.That is the legacy.”
