Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a bowling schedule from the 1968 UMBC duckpin bowling league.

UMBC Faculty-Staff Bowling League Schedule, September 19, 1968. Collection 50, Series I: Faculty-Staff Bowling League 1968-1970, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)

UMBC's first chancellor, Albin O. Kuhn, worked hard to be an active figure in the UMBC community. One way he did this was by participating in a UMBC duckpin bowling league in 1968. The league consisted of various members of the UMBC community including faculty, staff, and their spouses. Chancellor Kuhn and his wife, Libby, can be seen on the above 1968 bowling schedule, under Team 5 and Team 3 respectively.
