Amos Alonzo Stagg (1862-1965) was perhaps the most influential figure in the history of collegiate athletics. Having coached and contributed to the development of multiple sports, his legacy remains primarily with football and basketball. The legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne once said that "all football comes from Stagg." He is enshrined in two Halls of Fame, and the NCAA Division III football championship is known as the Stagg Bowl.
Stagg's football career began at Yale University, where he was selected to the first Football All-American team as a player in 1889. The following year, he began his football coaching career at Springfield College (1890-1891), where James Naismith, later famous as the inventor of basketball, played under him.
Stagg's most significant contributions to football occurred during his forty-one-year tenure as head coach of the University of Chicago (1892-1932). Under his guidance, Chicago became known as a football powerhouse during the first quarter of the twentieth century, winning seven Big Ten championships (1899, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1913, 1922, and 1924). In addition to his football duties, he also coached track, baseball, and basketball and is credited with helping to organize the Big Ten Conference. In 1912, the year identified on this mug, the Maroons finished second in the Western Conference with a 6-1 record and outscored all their opponents.

- AUTOGRAPH BOOK W/ J.W.C. PENNINGTON,
AUTOGRAPH BOOK W/ J.W.C. PENNINGTON, OTHERS, 1860S Presented is an autograph album of Mr. H. Baylies of Taunton, Mass of which his name is gold leafed onto the cover, containing 147 signatures, date of signing and location on most. Many historical religious leaders of the northeastern United States and many more of which most have not been researched fully. There is a list of people which seems like some kind of an assencion with a few notable individuals such as that of J.W.C. Pennington (1807-1870), author of "The Fugitive Blacksmith" and now known as the first black graduate of Yale University. Pennington attended Yale in 1834 to 1837. On April 22, 2023, Yale awarded Pennington a posthumous M.A. Privatim. He was ordained as a minister in the Congregational Church, later also serving in Presbyterian churches for congregations in Hartford, Connecticut and New York. Another page is inscribed from Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubign? (1794-1872), who nicely inscribed to the owner of the book with provenance signed by him stating, "The above autograph, on the (assembly general's stationary for the Societe Evangelique), was written for me at his house in Geneva, September 1860 and had his wife, at his request write in the date." Many other notables such as Nathaniel Fellows, senator from Rhode Island; James Woodward Strong, the first president of Carleton College and theologian in Minnesota and author of the Strong Concordance of 1890 or index to the Bible. Others include Chester Hubbard (1814-1891) US representative and founder of West Virginia; George C.

- GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,
GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, 1755 The Gentleman?s Magazine, 1755. An early mention of George Washington in a London magazine. A report, reading in part: "The poor men who suffered at the meadows with Colonel Washington recommend to your favour as they were disabled in the service of their country...". This is very early & rather unusual mention of George Washington, being just 23 years old. The additional high points in this issue are first an article headed: "Gov. Dinwiddie's Speech to the Assembly of Virginia" in which he relates various reports from the French & Indian War, including mention of "...general Braddock, commander in chief of all his majesty's forces on this continent..." and others. The very first article in this magazine: "Account of the British Settlements in N. America" which is continued from a previous issue & takes over 3 1/2 pages. Among other items of interest in this magazine are: "A Message from his Excellency Arthur Dobbs, Esq., Governor of North Carolina, to the General Assembly held at Newburn (New Bern)," "A Particular Account of the Death of Mr. Professor Richmann...who was Killed Whilst he was Making an Electrical Experiment" which also includes two illustrations. "Journal of Public Transactions in America," an article which begins: "In the instruction given by Somerset County in Virginia to the representatives in the assembly, is the following passage..."; a full back page is a chart of: "Each Day's Price of Stocks in July, 1755" and much more. The American map called for is lacking. The page numbers are 244-335, plus one each a title page of St Johns Gate. With full title/index page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate. Bound with June 1755 having a highlight of the dispute between the Assembly and the Governor of Pennsylvania. Speeches of Indian chiefs and a nice description of shells with an illustration. Many snippets of America, including a description of the penalties for anyone to visit Louisbourg, the capital of the French province of ?le-Royale (present-day Cape Breton Island) during the War of the Austrian Succession, known as King George's War in the British colonies. Had they visited in a four-month period, the sentence was to have one?s ear cut off, 39 lashes and seizure of assets and exclusion from government.
