The “C” Logo The University of Chicago athletics emblem un-

derwent several changes during the institution’s early years.

Thefirstfootballteamin1892sportednorecogniz-ableemblemonitsuniforms.Inanefforttoprovidetheteam with an identity, the letters “UC” were cut out of

brownpaperandpastedontheplayers’uniforms. Inthespringof1893,theemblemwasmodifiedintotheformofamonogramthatthebaseballteamincorporatedonitsuniforms. Asingleletterwasusedforthefirsttimein1894whenthefootballandtracksquadsdisplayedanoblong“C”ontheiruniforms.Thatemblemremainedinexistenceuntil1897whenitwasreplacedbya“C”inlarge,roundtype. Thenin1898,MaroonteamsadoptedtheChicago“C”emblem,whichhasbeenworntothepresentday.

Maroon, Maroons & The Phoenix Maroon and “Maroons” became theUniversity of

Chicago’s official color andnickname, respectively, at ameetingofstudentsandfacultyonMay5,1894.

BeforetheUniversityhelditsfirstclassesonOctober1,1892,theBoardofTrusteeshadselectedgoldenrod(yellow)astheschool’sofficialcolor.

By1894,however,Chicago’slegendaryfootballcoachAmosAlonzoStaggbelievedthatachangewasnecessary.

“The yellow ran, soiled easily, and had a regrettable symbolismwhichouropponentsmightnotbeabovecom-mentingupon,”saidStagginhisautobiography,Touchdown!

Because maroon was not already in use by any major schoolintheMidwest,StaggandhisassociateJ.E.Raycroftbroughtaselectionofmaroonshadestothe1894meetingofstudentsandfaculty.Themeetingat-tendeesmadeachoicefromthoseribbons,andthebaseballteamappearedinthatcolorduringitsfinalgamesofthe1894season.

ThePhoenix–whichisfeaturedaspartoftheUniversity’sofficialcoatofarms, or shield – serves as the school’s mascot. The University of Chicago Board ofTrusteesadoptedtheshieldin1910.

gatheratmidfieldandsing“WavetheFlag”byGordonErickson:

Wave the flag of old Chicago, Maroon the color grand.Ever shall her team be victors, Known throughout the land.

With the grand old man to lead them, Without a peer they’ll stand. Wave again the dear old banner, For they’re heroes, every man!

The UAA in Theory• Academic excellence and athletic excellence are not mutually exclusive.

• The academic enterprise is the primary element.

• Athletic excellence properly relates to the caliber of experience offered to students.

• Athletic programs should reflect the quality of the academic environ-ment within which they exist.

• A consistent and challenging level of athletic competition should be provided for both women and men.

The UAA in Practice• In 2014-15, 26 student-athletes from UAA institutions were recog-nized as Capital One Academic All-Americans and 10 were named NCAA Postgraduate or Fulbright Scholars.

• 204 UAA student-athletes received All-America honors with 20 garnering individual national championships or national Player of the Year accolades.

• In 2014-15 NCAA championship competition, 19 UAA teams fin-ished in the top 10 in their national championships, while another 12 finished in the top 20.

In1987,Chicagobecamea charter member of a new anduniqueNCAADivi-sion III conference, the University Athletic As-sociation. Comprised ofsome of the nation’s lead-ing research institutions, UAA members include

BrandeisUniversity,CarnegieMellonUniversity,CaseWesternReserveUniversity,EmoryUniversity,NewYorkUniversity,theUniversityofRochester,andWashingtonUniversityinSt.Louis. Sinceitsfounding,theUAA has continued to serve as a bold statementofthevisionofitsfounders—thatthepursuitofaca-demicandathleticexcellencearecomplementarygoalsandcanbeachievedwithoutthecompromiseofonebytheother.Implicitinthisvisionarethreeassumptions: •Theacademicenterpriseistheprimaryelement.Student-athletesarejustthat—studentsfirstandathletessecond. •Athleticexcellenceisnottobeconfusedwithawin-at-all-costsattitude.Itproperlyrelatestothecaliberofexperienceofferedtostudentswhoparticipateinintercollegiateathletics. •Athleticsshouldnotonlycomplementtheacademicexperi-ence,butshouldalsoreflectthequalityoftheacademicenviron-mentwithinwhichtheyexist.DivisionIIIisanapproachtoathletics— not a synonym for third-rate.

Early Era History


Amos Alonzo Stagg One of the great innovators in the develop-ment of college football, Amos Alonzo Stagg served as head football coach at Chicago from 1892 to 1932. Stagg compiled a record of 227-111-26 and led the Maroons to seven Big Ten Conference titles (1899, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1913, 1922, 1924). Under Stagg’s guidance, Chicago emerged as one of the nation’s most formidable football powers during the first quarter of the 20th century. Stagg’s impact on the game of football began during his college playing days at Yale, where he was named to the first-ever All-America team as an end in 1889. Stagg began his coaching career the next year at the Springfield, Massa-chusetts, YMCA, now Springfield College. Stagg formed the school’s first football team, and among his players was James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. William Rainey Harper, who was Stagg’s divinity professor at Yale, was ap-pointed the first president of the University of Chicago and in 1892 named Stagg head football coach and director of the depart-ment of physical culture, a post Stagg would retain for 41 years. In addition to his football duties, Stagg coached track for 32 years, baseball for 19 years, and basketball for one sea-son. He also helped to organize the Big Ten Conference, then known as the Western Conference. Among the innovations credited to Stagg are the tackling dummy, the huddle, the reverse and man-in-motion plays, the lateral pass, uniform numbers, and varsity letters. After retiring from Chicago in 1932, Stagg served as head coach at Pacific from 1932 to 1946, then served as an assistant coach to his son at Susquehanna until 1952. He passed away in 1965 at the age of 102. Stagg was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951 as both a player and coach. The NCAA recognized Stagg’s contributions by designating the Division III championship game the Stagg Bowl. Legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne said of Stagg, “All football comes from Stagg.”

Jay BerwangerHeisman Trophy Winner 1935

In November 1935, University of Chicago senior Jay Berwanger received a telegram from Manhattan’s Downtown Athletic Club, informing him that he had won a trophy for being the “most valuable football player east of the Mississippi.” The prize, then known as the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy, was renamed the Heisman Trophy the following year. Renowned for his versatility, Berwanger played nearly every position on offense and defense. During the 1935 campaign, he rushed for 577 yards, passed for 405, returned kickoffs

for 359, scored six touchdowns, and added five PATs for 41 points. Following the 1935 season, the Chicago Tribune awarded Berwanger the Silver Football as the Most Valuable Player in the Big Ten. In a poll of 107 opposing players he faced during his senior year, 104 said the six-foot, 195-pound Berwanger was the best halfback they had ever seen. Berwanger was the only Heisman recipient tackled by a future United States president – Gerald Ford – during a 1934 game between Chicago and Michigan. “Jay was most deserving of his Heisman Trophy. He could do it all,” President Ford recalled. “He was an outstanding runner as well a passer and kicker. I remember him fondly as one of the greatest athletes I’ve known.” In addition to his distinction as the first-ever Heisman Trophy re-cipient, Berwanger was the first player chosen in the inaugural National Football League draft in 1936. He was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, who traded his rights to the Chicago Bears. Berwanger turned down the opportunity to pursue a professional football career, citing low pay. During World War II, he enrolled in the United States Navy’s flight-training program and became a naval officer. After the war, he established a plastic and rubber manufacturing company in Chicago’s western suburbs. In 1954, Berwanger was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Then in 1989, he was included on Sports Illustrated’s 25-year anniversary All-America team, which honored players whose accomplish-ments extended beyond the football field. Berwanger died during the summer of 2002.

Return of Varsity Football – 1969

Thirty years after the University of Chicago discontin-ued intercollegiate football in 1939, the sport returned to varsity status at the NCAA Division III level. The genesis of the return of football occurred in 1956, when Walter Hass was appointed director of athletics A long-time college football coach, Hass initiated a football class as part of the physical education curriculum, which by 1960 evolved into a club program competing against other teams in the area. Prompted by Hass’s strident lobbying efforts as well as a student body petition, the University of Chicago el-evated football to varsity status beginning with the 1969 season. Hass, who guided the Maroons to a 2-4 record in 1969, continued coaching through 1975 and during that span con-tinued to upgrade the schedule with quality opponents. His efforts established the foundation for Division III football at Chicago. Hass was selected for induction into the University of Chicago Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2007. The Maroons celebrated the 40-year anniversary of the return of varsity football during the team’s 2009 Homecoming game against Denison University. Members of the 1969 squad, the first to play varsity football after it was eliminated 30 years earlier, served as honorary team captains for the pregame coin toss.
