EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Origin of the Memorial Stadium 109 of the Department, were recommended as architects for the Stadium. Preference, however, was given to the firm of Holabird and Roche who Were already employed by the University in the capacity of consulting architects. On the recommendation of the Athletic Association Committee, Holabird and Roche were later approved as architects for the Memorial Stadium through action of the Board. The Memorial Stadium is the largest and most imposing structure on the campus. The building has had a far-reaching influence on the University. Aside from the very useful purpose it serves and the inspiring architectural impression it makes in the Campus ensemble, its greatest value is due to the fact that it is a Memorial, built with funds subscribed by alumni and friends, and by virtue of this ideal has focused the attention of the people of the State and Country at large on the University. It has served to give them a common interest in the institution, and as a result has created a very great bond between the University and the outside world.
