Edwards Gymnasium is Dedicated

Edwards Gymnasium is Dedicated - 1906

Edwards Gymnasium is dedicated on Feb. 22. Ohio Wesleyan’s first varsity men’s basketball team plays its games in the still-unfinished facility, compiling a 4-4 record. The gym was named after John Edwards, who served on the Board of Trustees in the late 1890s and early 1900s. One of the biggest facilities in the state at the time, Edwards was one of the first sites for the Ohio high school basketball tournament championships, which it hosted into the 1930s.
