BALDWIN-WALLACE College
Location: Berea, Ohio
Colors: Brown and Gold
Conference: Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC)
Coach: Lee Tressell, 7-1-1, (1958-1980: 155-52-6, .742)
Nickname – Yellow Jackets, “Stinger.” The Baldwin Wallace teams were originally known by their school colors, but by the late 1920s sportswriters and the student body began referring to them as Yellow Jackets.
University Background – The university was established in 1845 as Baldwin Institute by Methodist businessman and founder of a utopian community in Berea, Ohio, John Baldwin. It became Baldwin University 11-years later in 1856. In 1913 it merged with German Wallace College and became Baldwin-Wallace College. Effective in 2012, about the time many small colleges changed their designations, Baldwin-Wallace College officially became Baldwin Wallace University. As a result, the hyphen between Baldwin-Wallace was dropped. In 2019 the university disaffiliated itself from the United Methodist Church after 174 years.
OTTERBEIN College
Location: Westerville, Ohio
Colors: Tan and Cardinal
Conference: Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC)
Coach: Larry Lintner, 3-5-1 (1966-69. Four years: 10-25-1, .278)
Nickname – Cardinals, the mascot is “Cardy.” Initially, as with most other universities, the athletic teams were referred to by their colors. In Otterbein’s case it was either the Tans or the Cardinals. When the State of Ohio officially adopted the cardinal as the state bird the term Cardinals started catching on. It wasn’t until after WWII that the nickname Cardinals became prevalent through the efforts of coach and athletic director Robert “Moe” Agler. However, there has been a long battle between using the term Cardinals or changing the nickname “Otters,” which is not used by any institution in the NCAA. Both nicknames are used interchangeably.
University Background – Otterbein University was founded in 1847 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and named for United Brethren founder the Rev. Philip William Otterbein. After the merger of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church, in 1968, Otterbein has been associated with the United Methodist Church. It was Otterbein University from 1847 to 1917, when it changed to Otterbein College. In 2010, with the increase in courses and graduate degrees it reverted to its original name, Otterbein University.
