Title: Jesse Owens a lasting legend

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/jesse-owens/

Description: “Jesse Owens a lasting legend” documents and celebrates Jesse Owens’ rise from Buckeye to a national hero. With his victories at the 1936 Berlin Summer Games, becoming the first person ever to win four gold medals at one time in Olympic track history, his fame was quickly established. These feats soon became legendary, however, because they were accomplished in front of Germany's Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler, who was loudly proclaiming to the world the superiority of the Aryan race. Almost overnight, Owens, an African American who had grown up in Cleveland, Ohio and studied at The Ohio State University, became an international celebrity for putting a chink in Hitler's propaganda machine. Owens was only 22 when he became an Olympic hero, and he never again competed as an amateur athlete. He spent the rest of his life in a variety of ways: running several businesses, raising a family, promoting the Olympics, and volunteering his time as an advocate for children.

Title: A Walk in Our 'Shoe : the history of Ohio Stadium

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/stadium/

Description: This website pays tribute to the Ohio Stadium, seen alternately as a building no one thought OSU football games could fill and an engineering marvel comparable to the Coliseum of Rome. It has reflected the changing ambitions and enthusiasms of the Ohio State community and the nation at large. Completed in 1922, built in little over a year for a little more than $1 million, the Stadium was to unite students and fans in displays of wholesome athleticism. After countless renovations and repairs – including a student dorm, three generations of artificial grass, and five press boxes – the building has become a physical support for a contemporary media experience. Throughout its history, the Stadium has accommodated social, economic and technological change, and remains the spot where fans gather to show their devotion to OSU. NOTE: some links to content external to this exhibit were not captured as part of this archival crawl.
