Abstract:
Records of the athletic director of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and its predecessor institutions, mostly dating from the 1970s. The collection contains numerous files on men's intercollegiate sports, especially basketball, football, and swimming, which include media guides, programs, schedules, rosters, statistics, and lists of records set during athletic competitions dating from 1895. The collection contains 334 movie film reels and videocassette tapes, almost entirely of football games, dating from the 1940s to the 1970s. A few reels exist for basketball games and swimming meets.

Other records document awards banquets and recipients of awards; club sports which were sponsored by the university but did not receive any university funding; the physical education program; and the building and maintenance of university athletic facilities, including the J. Martin Klotsche Center for Physical Education. Records concerning intramural sports include athletic records, rules, schedules, and statistics. The correspondence files document a wide variety of subjects such as intercollegiate athletics, physical education, student services, women's athletics, and university athletic facilities. Some records concern the efforts of UWM and other universities in the 1960s and 1970s to create an urban university conference, and include the proposed constitution and operating code; and materials on UWM's violations of NCAA basketball rules during the 1975 season.
