Father Marion Bowman statue dedication
As part of our Alumni Weekend activities, we invite all faculty and staff to not only join us for the weekend events but also for a special dedication of the newest commissioned statue to be placed at University Campus. The event will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, in front of the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
The statue of Father Marion Bowman will be proudly displayed outside of the Marion Bowman Activities Center, which was named in his honor in May 1970. In September 1932, Father Marion Bowman, OSB, was appointed the varsity coach and athletic director and oversaw the program for a quarter century until he was elected abbot in 1954. During his tenure, Saint Leo became a statewide sports power among Catholic high schools, private academies, and club teams. During the 1930s and 1940s, Saint Leo won so many sports championships that the trophy case soon had no room to hold all the awards. The main sports were football, basketball, baseball, and track.
