This is Union!BULLDOG BASKETBALLIn 1879 a group ofprogressive citizens followedthe prompting of Abraham H.Harritt, a salesman of schooldesks, and James T. Gibson,the owner of a generalmerchandisestore, to establisha college in the Barbourvillecommunity. W.W. Sawyersand James D. Black met in theoffice of Judge J.H. Tinsleyand formed a stock companyto launch Union College.Black, who later served aspresident of Union from 1910-12 and later served as governorof Kentucky, is given creditCENTENNIAL HALLfor having named the school“Union.” The institution itwould serve as a unifying influence for the community regardless of church affiliationor political differences. The Articles of Incorporation were drawn up on Oct. 18, 1879,and provided for the issuance of $20,000 worth of capital stock. The London Echo ofDec. 12, 1879, carrying its first announcement of Union, listed the corporation as being“designed to fill a long-felt want in eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee and westernVirginia.”Union was operated under local leadership for the first few years, but began toexperience severe financial struggles. On Oct. 25, 1886, the property was “cried off”to Green Elliott, who purchased it for Dr. Daniel Stevenson for the sum of $4,425with Mrs. Mahala Dowis furnishing the funds. The renowned Kentucky educator hadbeen authorized to attend the sale by the Board of Education of the Kentucky AnnualConference of The United Methodist Church.Union’s athletic mascot, the English Bulldog, was introduced during the fall of 1925.The breed, whose ancestors were developed in Britain before the 13th century from theBritish mastiff and other breeds, was used for bullbaiting and dogfighting until thesesports were outlawed in the 19th century.In 1967, the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity of Union College purchased the firstliving mascot named Mack. He was presented at the Homecoming basketball game thatsame year. A registered English Bulldog, Mack died in 1971. His remains are buried inan area adjacent to Union’s current baseball complex.During the past seven years, Union College began a major campus renovationand building project. Plans included the creation of new student housing, expandedacademic and athletic centers, and the upgrade of existing facilities. Projects completedwere the construction of the Stewart-Lyttle Apartments, Sharp Academic Center, BlackTechnology Center and the renovation of Speed Hall. Union’s athletic facilities havealso received facelifts as well. A new brick backstop erected in 2001 at Sanders Fieldat Jerry W. Carey Baseball Stadium, while a new wooden outfield fence was built in2002 with a new outfield wall in 2008. Robsion Arena recently had the floor repainted,new scoreboards installed and a new lights, roof and gutters installed. Two new tenniscourts were constructed, while the existing four were resurfaced, and a new press boxwas constructed at Burch/Nau Field (football) in 2003 and synthetic sports turn inlaidin 2007. In 2008, Union opened up a new weight-room facility as well.Union offers 27 majors in the undergraduate curriculum, which lead to a bachelor’sdegree. Minors are also available in many of these programs. In addition, the collegeoffers pre-professional programs that are affiliated with other institutions and agencies.Union College also boasts a graduate program The college offers graduate work ineducation leading to a Master’s degree, Fifth-Year Certificate and Rank I Certificate.How many independent, liberal arts colleges in the Commonwealth of Kentucky canboast of a Nobel Prize-winning graduate? Union College can certainly lay claim to that.Dr. Phillip A. Sharp, the co-winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for medicine, received hisbachelor’s degree from Union in 1966.Campus life starts from the moment the students arrive on campus and continuesthrough the end of the school year.

The National Association of Intercollegiate AthleticsBULLDOG BASKETBALLIn searching for the NAIA’s placein the history of sports and highereducation, several consistenciesare revealed. Among them is thededication to academic achievementabove athletic excellence. Alsoapparent is the organization’s roleas a trailblazer in providing equalopportunities for all student-athletes.Above all, there is an expectation ofethical behavior and a commitmentto scholarship, sportsmanship andleadership.It is paradoxical that such a lasting,dynamic contribution to collegiatesports began with a mundane notein the first recorded history of theAssociation: “The first general sessionof the ‘Organizing Convention’of the National Association ofIntercollegiate Basketball (NAIB)was held in the Phillips Hotel, KansasCity, Missouri, at 10 a.m., Sunday,March 10, 1940.”But the seed from which the NAIB sproutedwas planted two blocks away at MunicipalAuditorium. It was there in 1937 that a men’sbasketball tournament tipped off which hasbecome the longest continuous nationalcollegiate tournament in any sport. Further, outof that small-college basketball tournament,and the NAIB, grew an Association thatnow includes more than 360 colleges anduniversi ties and conducts two dozen nationalchampionship events.The tournament was the brainchild of EmilS. Liston, Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer,and a group of Kansas City business leaderswho wanted to provide Kansas City-area fanswith exciting amateur competition and toprovide a framework for small colleges anduniversities to determine a national basketballchampion.The original eight-team tournament expandedto 32 teams in 1938 and suspended play onlyfor World War II in 1944 before 16 teamswere invited the following year and the fieldgot back to full strength by 1946. Qualifyingtournaments became mandatory at the districtlevel in 1951.In 1948, the NAIB affirmed its commitmentto equality by becoming the first nationalorganization to offer intercollegiate postseasonopportunities to black student-athletes.Unprecedented action was taken in 1953 whenhistorically black institutions were voted intomembership.One year previous to the inclusion ofhistorically black institutions, another form ofTHE NAIA: A PROUD PAST, A DYNAMIC FUTUREexpansion occurred. In 1952, as a result of theexpressed desires of the member institutions,appropriate steps were taken by which theNAIB was transformed into the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics(NAIA), and the first all-encompassing set ofrules and standards was adopted.With the Association’s new name came theaddition of national championships in golf,tennis and outdoor track and field. Football,cross country, baseball and swimming anddiving were added to the championshipscalendar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer(1959), bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-84), indoor track and field (1966) and men’svolleyball (1969-80) were added later.Another significant step occurred in 1957when the Association’s headquarters movedfrom the campus of George Pepperdine Collegein Los Angeles to Kansas City to better servethe membership from a centralized location.Two major changes were made during the1970s. An extensive study was completed in1970 which paved the way for two divisionsof football. In 1997, football was consolidatedto one division again as the Football CoachesAssociation cited a narrowing gap betweenenrollment size and philosophy of the twodivisions. In 1976, the men’s basketballtournament was moved from the confines ofthe Municipal Auditorium to Crosby KemperArena, also in Kansas City, marking the firsttime since 1937 that the tournament had beenheld in a different arena.The NAIA revolutionized national collegiateathletics with the establishment ofathletics programs for women onAugust 1, 1980. Official noticeon that date followed a mail voteby the membership on May 1that supported becoming the firstorganization to offer collegiateathletics to both men and women.Championships for women beganthat year with basketball, crosscountry, gymnastics, indoor andoutdoor track and field, softball,tennis and volleyball. Soccerwas added in 1984, and golf wasincluded in 1995.Another important chapter inthe history of the NAIA unfoldedin 1992 when the Associationvoted to move its headquartersfrom Kansas City to Tulsa. OnAugust 1, 1993, the NAIA openedits doors in Tulsa and began a newera. Moving with the nationaloffice was the Division I Men’sBasketball National Championship which hadbeen held in Kansas City for 56 years.During the 1993 NAIA National Conventionin Atlanta, the waves of change once againwashed over the Association. The membershipvoted to institute affiliated conference andregional groupings and discontinue the useof district play as a means of qualification fornational championships.Since 1937, the NAIA has administeredprograms and championships in proper balancewith the overall educational experience. In2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose toenhance the character-building aspects ofsport. Through Champions of Character,the NAIA seeks to create an environment inwhich every student-athlete, coach, officialand spectator is committed to the true spiritof competition through five tenets: respect,integrity, responsibility, servant leadership andsportsmanship.Everything has come full circle. The NAIArelocated its National Office in July of 2001to Olathe, Kansas, just miles from Gardnerwhere the idea for the small-college basketballtournament gave rise to the NAIA. Now,nearly 65 years after that initial tournament,the NAIA Division I Men’s BasketballNational Championship returned to MunicipalAuditorium, the arena that was home to somany memories from 1937-74.In July of 2007, the National Office movedonce again, but not too far from Olathe. TheNAIA relocated its headquarters to downtownKansas City, Mo., as it returned to its roots.18 • Union College
