Herald Editor to Dedicate
Henry Schulte Memorial
... on May 20
One of the features of the Big Seven Track and Field
Championships to be held here May 20-21 will be the dedica
tion of the Field House as the Henry Schulte Memorial.
The ceremonies will be held prior to the final event
on Saturday afternoon. Frederick Ware, managing editor
of the Omaha World-Herald and a close friend of the late
coach Shulte, will make the dedi
catory address as a plaque is re
vealed. COACH SCHULTE was a mem
ber of the University athletic staff
from 1919 until his retirement in
1938. During this time, he was
credited with one of the greatest
"missionary" jobs ever accom
plished at Nebraska. It was
through his efforts that track be
came, in every sense, a major
sport. He also assisted coaching
football under Fred Dawson and
Dana Bible, helping to weld some
of the greatest combinations com
parable to the forward walls of
the University's "point-a-minutc"
teams on which Shulte played as
an undergraduate.
According to the Nebraska
Alumnus, in an article published
upon his retirement in 1938, "he
was more than just a great guy
he was a tradition; a great tradi
tion. He probably contributed
more to athletics at the Univer
sity and in the state than any
other person."
COACH SHULTE was known
nationally for his fine coaching.
He was in charge of the U. S. team
in the decathalon in the 1928
Olympics, and was responsible for
having two National AAU tourna
ments brought to Lincoln.
Shulte was famed for his em
phasis on teamwork, for, rather
than depending on upon one two
fleet-footed members of a team,
he depended upon the team as a
unit. It was his ambition to have
a team that could score in every
event in a contest, and this ambi
tion w.-.s realized in 1937 when the
Nclir.'iska te;im established a
wo: Id's record by ac hieving points
in every event in the P.ig Six
championships.
H;SIDE IUJNG an outstanding
rou:h Schulte was an advisor for
the Innocents society, and ertab
li.shfd the "N" club Scholarship
award.
The Innocents began laying the
groundwork tor the dedication a
yea r.-igo. They, along with the
Corn Cobs and Tassels and the
University band will participate in
the ceremonies.
The plaque is to show a head of
Schulte, surmounted by the in
scription, "Dedicated to the spirit
of Nebraska as exemplified in
Henry F. Schulte," and underneath
the head the words "Friend of
Youth Builder of Men."
A bound volume of letters from
associates and friends of the coach
will be sent to Mrs. Schulte by the
Innocents. Individuals who wish to
submit letters for the volume are
requested to send them to Inno
cents Society, Student Union, Uni
versity of Nebraska, Lincoln.
