Monon Memories
In 2002, utilizing video and film from DePauw University's archives, the first "Monon Memories" -- short (40 second to 2:30) video summaries of past battles for the Bell—were produced. The initial goal was to create 15-20 short vignettes which could be used during timeouts of the game's national telecast each year. On October 2, 2008, DePauw's Executive Director of Media Relations, Ken Owen—who launched the "Memories" project and created each clip—finished the 1890 segment. As a result there is a video for each of the 119 football battles between DePauw and Wabash. The videos—which feature vintage photos and, when available, film or videotape—are available for viewing at DePauw's Web site (link below) and many are included in each year's special edition DVD of the Monon Bell Classic. "Monon Memories" were featured in the November 7, 2008 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Famous quotes containing the word memories:
“In time, after a dozen years of centering their lives around the games boys play with one another, the boys’ bodies change and that changes everything else. But the memories are not erased of that safest time in the lives of men, when their prime concern was playing games with guys who just wanted to be their friendly competitors. Life never again gets so simple.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
