Oct. 8 will mark the 100th anniversary of the death of former Cyclone student-athlete Jack Trice. He died from football injuries received several days earlier in Minneapolis during a game against the University of Minnesota.
Iowa State's year-long centennial commemoration of that tragedy and Trice's legacy opened during Homecoming weekend last fall, Nov. 4-6. It included dedicating artist Ivan Toth Depeña's Breaking Barriers sculpture north of the football stadium, launching a lecture series, sharing Trice's story at the university's Iowa State Fair exhibit and the city renaming a section of South Fourth Street in front of the stadium as Jack Trice Way.
Several more events are scheduled this fall:
Ames History Museum's Jack Trice traveling exhibit will be in the Multicultural Center, 2260 Memorial Union, Sept. 25-Oct. 27.
