Abstract
A historical account of the athletic activities of the students of the Illinois Wesleyan University is being compiled by the athletic department and we are offering a portion of this, set up by decades, as our contribution to the history of the institution being prepared for this ninetieth celebration.
It is undoubtedly true that from the beginning some sort of recreational games or contests were indulged in, which might be classified as athletic contests.
No reports or authentic records have been found covering any such events prior to the year 1870.
The athletic department of the university will be very grateful for old athletic pictures or any information that will add to the value of this chronicle.
