BGSU's teams were originally known as the "Normals" before adopting the "Falcons" name in 1927. Inspired by the bird's strength and agility, "Falcons" captured the true spirit of BGSU athletes. #BGSUFalcons


In its early years, BGSU offered courses tailored to prepare teachers for rural one-room schoolhouses, which were common in Ohio at the time. This showed the university's commitment to meeting the educational needs of the region. 🏫 #BGSUEducation


In its first year, BGSU had a modest start with an enrollment of only 304 students and a faculty of 10 members, plus four critic teachers for the training school. 🎓 #BGSUHistory


BGSU's first classes were held in 1914, but its first buildings, University Hall and Williams Hall, were still under construction. Classes initially took place in a local armory and a church basement. 🏫 #BGSU


BGSU's football team, formed in 1919, had a rocky start with a 0-7 record over their first 2 seasons. However, they celebrated their first victory in 1921 against Kent State, ending the game with a 7-0 score! 🏈 #BGSUFootball#bgsu


BGSU's first athletic team was men's basketball, established in 1916, two years after the school opened its doors. They faced off against our now-rivals from Toledo, setting the stage for the fierce competition and success that followed. #BGSU #BGSUHistory🏀

The McFall Center which currently houses the Office of the President of the University was the University's library from 1927 to 1967. At the time of its creation, the library was built to serve 800 students. The budget for the original building was $275,000. #bgsu #tbt
