The Bugle is proud to dedicate the 1967 edition to a man who has devoted himself to Bowdoin. Announcing his retirement in June, 1967, is Malcolm E. Morrell, Director of Athletics, after a distinguished career of forty-two years. Mr. Morrell graduated from Bowdoin in 1924, joined the coaching staff a year later. In 1927 he became director of the athletic department. In 1928, Mr. Morrell was one of the first to advocate a rules change in football, allow- ing the forward pass to be thrown from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage. Thus he distinguished himself early as an imagina- tive and vigorous member of the athletic world. In his many years with Bowdoin, he has served on numerous Maine and New England athletic conferences, often as presi- dent. He has served on the NCAA Olympic Committee and College Committee. Here at Bowdoin, Mr. Morrell was in- strumental in developing the physical edu- cation staff into a regular department and establishing the universal physical education program. On behalf of the entire college community, we salute this exemplary Bowdoin Man.
