Midwest Conference History Book To Be Released In September

Jul 02, 2008
Press Release posted by Midwest Conference Permalink
George Drake, a former Midwest Conference student-athlete and 1956 Grinnell College graduate, has culminated a project he calls “a labor of love” with the completion of the 100-page soft cover book No Ordinary Conference, an introspective history of the Midwest Conference. The Midwest Conference office is making the book available to the general public at a discounted price via the Order Form linked below for a limited time only (a small number of copies may be available at full price after the ship date). Orders are expected to ship in September.

Drake, who remains a professor at his alma mater, teamed with 2001 Grinnell grad John Aerni to provide a unique look at the league’s history through interviews with Midwest Conference student-athletes and unprecedented access to league minutes.

No Ordinary Conference includes the accounts of numerous student-athletes and chronicles over 80 years of history from the league’s formation through the men’s and women’s conference unification and beyond. No Ordinary Conference also features a 34-page photo gallery of some of the conference’s all-time great athletes, coaches and administrators.
