Description
An account of the resource
UMBC's fascination with chess began early in the campus history. A query was sent to The Retriever in October 1967 asking What can be done about organizing a chess club at UMBC?" By 1968, an intramural chess tournament was hosted by the Chess Club with three divisions resulting in a playoff of the three divisional winners. The tournament was expected to take about five weeks to conclude. In 1972, the Chess Club invited chess master Larry Kaufman, an MIT graduate who was ranked 16th in the nation, to play simultaneous games against UMBC Chess Club members and any others who wished to participate. Twenty-two contestants played against Kaufman on Wednesday, September 20, 1972 in simultaneous matches. Kaufman won all games except one draw against graduate student Mike Woodward, M.S. '75, biological sciences. Skip Boyd's photograph captures the intensity of the moment.

Description
An account of the resource
The first Spring Week (an early version of Quadmania) took place April 22- 29, 1967, and began with a rousing Saturday evening performance by the King of Soul," Otis Redding (1941-1967). The performance was for a semi-formal dance in Gym 1 and was also broadcast into the Commuter Cafeteria for others to hear. Accompanied by his twelve-piece band, Redding performed two forty-five minute sets between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Redding had achieved national and international acclaim in the early 1960s, and, soon after his UMBC appearance, he was a featured performer at the landmark Monterey Pop Festival. In December 1967, he wrote and recorded his famous song (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" with guitarist Steve Cropper before heading to the Midwest for several appearances. On route to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Redding's Beechcraft airplane tragically crashed into a lake four miles from the airport.

The Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award was established in 1988 to honor an alumnus or alumna who had achieved national recognition in his or her field. The first award was presented to Dr. Winston Griner ‘74, biological sciences, for his innovations in home health care. After graduating from Meharry Medical College in Nashville in 1978, Griner remained in Tennessee and established a house-call only practice - the only physician listed by the Nashville Academy of Medicine to be doing so. While others insisted that his business was impractical and unsustainable, Griner was able to develop relationships with his patients and closely monitor and assist them in their recovery.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1986, UMBC commissioned alumna Paulette Raye ‘87, philosophy, to create a bronze-cast model of the Retriever for the school’s 20th anniversary. Raye worked in a studio at Towson University, using a Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Nitty Gritty as her model. The 500-pound, life-size statue was unveiled on December 7, 1987, outside of the Field House, now the plaza between the Administration Building and the Retriever Activities Center. Its name, True Grit,” is actually the name of Nitty Gritty’s father. In an interview with UMBC Magazine, Raye said that she wasn’t exactly sure why the mascot received that name [True Grit instead of Nitty Gritty] … other than it sounded bold and strong—like the [school’s] team.”
This edition of the newsletter asked alumni to be a believer in our Retriever” and make donations toward the commissioned statue of UMBC’s mascot.
