The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Child Magazine, and both children

and adults marvel at the wonders to see and experience at Science Central.

Some of Fort Wayne’s best attractions are in its wide array of places in which to eat—from single counter diners to elegant restaurants. And if retail therapy is for you, Fort Wayne boasts the largest shopping mall in

the state, Glenbrook Square Mall.

Fort Wayne is Indiana’s second largest city, boasting a population of more than 250,000 people. Nicknamed The Summit City because it’s one of the highest spots in the region, Fort Wayne is a family-friendly city that offers something for everyone.

Visitors can trace their ancestors in the largest public genealogy department in the country at the Fort Wayne-Allen County Public Library.

The city is the birthplace of inventions such as the washing machine, baking powder, calculator, juke box, televi-sion, breathalyzer, and refrigerator. It is also the city where stereo sound, the garbage disposal, magnetic wire, streetlights, and the gasoline pump were first created and manufactured.

Fort Wayne is also the site of the first night baseball game played under the lights, the birthplace of the NBA Detroit Pistons, and the home of the Fort Wayne Daisies - the professional women’s baseball team featured in the movie, “A League of Their Own.”

Fort Wayne was been named America’s No. 1 minor league sports city, in the 2007 Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal, and is home to the league-

winning Fort Wayne TinCaps (single A affiliate of the San Diego Padres), Fort Wayne Komets hockey team, and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA-D

League.

It all started about 10,000 years ago…That’s when mastodons roamed the southern Great Lakes region of North America. These stocky versions of mod-ern elephants reached heights of about ten feet at the shoulder, with tusks that curved upward that were six feet or more in length. Mastodons were browsers who fed mostly on leaves and twigs from small trees and shrubs. One such mastodon found its final rest-ing place about two miles south of Angola, Indiana, on land that would eventually be-come part of Orsie Routsong’s farm. In the fall of 1968, Routsong decided to expand a small pond on his property. An excavator was hired and instructed to pile the ex-cavated material around the edge of the pond. Several days after the excavation was finished a heavy rain storm pounded the piles of dirt. The next day, a young neighbor boy of Routsong’s discovered a large bone in one of the dirt piles. Rout-song knew it was something out of the ordinary, so he called Jack Sunderman, chair of the IPFW Geology Department, to identify the bone, and to ask for advice on what to do with it. Sunderman says his first question was, “How big is the bone,” with Routsong’s answer being “pretty big, maybe 3 or 4 feet long.” When Sunderman got to the farm, he identified the bone as a leg bone of a mastodon. He told Routsong a skeleton like this would have scientific and instruc-tional value if a large portion of it could be located. Routsong agreed, and also agreed to have the IPFW Geology Depart-ment do the excavation. Sunderman got two more faculty members, Geoffrey Mat-thews and Bernd Erdtmann, and several geology students to help in the project. Using metal rods to probe through the sticky clay around the pond, the team lo-cated quite a number of rib bones, ver-tebrae, and leg bones; but the skull and tusks were missing. After they finished going through the clay piles around the

pond, the team decided to venture further out, into undisturbed ground, eventually striking a large, solid object. Sunderman says they were all amazed when they dis-covered the skull of the mastodon, includ-ing the cranium, the upper jaw, and both tusks. He recalled, The skull had been buried about four feet beneath the surface, and was upside down. The two tusks, about five feet long, were still in place—projecting from the skull! The team completed its excavation, still missing several leg and toe bones. At this point, they got help from an un-expected source: the Student Government Association. That group provided funds for an additional machine excavation that would double the size of the pond. Rout-song agreed with the proposition and the machine excavation continued for a few more weeks. However, only a few small scraps of bones were found. After the original contracted time for the machine excavation ended, the opera-tor independently decided to “go fishing” for bones for a few more hours. Sunder-man picks up the story, Imagine our excitement when we, the Geology Department team, learned the excavator had uncovered a second mast-odon! With one of his last scoops, the ex-cavator had pulled up the skull of a baby mastodon!Unfortunately, Sunderman says that skull was not well preserved and had parts missing due to decay. After all the mastodon bones were col-lected, cleaned, and preserved, Routsong agreed to have the adult mastodon skel-eton placed on permanent display at IPFW (pictured below); the skull of the baby mastodon is now on loan to Science Cen-tral. So that’s how the mastodon bones came to be encased in Kettler Hall; but how did the mastodon become IPFW’s mascot?

In the spring of 1970, The Communica-tor began a drive to come up with a mascot for IPFW. Some of the suggested choices included the Boiler-Hoosiers, Warhawks, Marauders, Frontiersmen, Pioneers, Elfs, and Hobbits. Those names and others came from student suggestions. The orig-inal plan was that students would vote on ballots published in The Communicator. At the same time the newspaper was run-ning sample ballots, Steve Pettyjohn, who served as the student body president in 1968-69, wrote a letter to the editor about the school mascot. In his letter, Pettyjohn extolled the virtues of choosing the mast-odon as IPFW’s mascot: “It sounds different, strange, and even icky (as one female student put it). That’s exactly why. It’s different and yes, even strange. I’m tired of slavishly copy-ing what Bloomington, West Lafayette, and other big schools do. And I’m tired of these high school attitudes and high school nicknames…For God’s Sakes, let’s have the courage to be a little different.” In the meantime, former Indiana Con-gressman Mark Souder, who served as student body president in 1969-70, re-calls being lobbied by the Geology Club to choose the mastodon: “…a group from the Geology Club burst into the Student Government office, led by Dr. Erdtmann and Dr. Sunderman. I know Mike Nusbaumer was involved both

as a student government leader and a ge-ology club member.” According to Nusbaumer,“Souder appointed a committee in stu-dent government to select a name (I was a member of that committee) although he was lobbying hard for the mastodon.” Souder says he’s not sure who else was on the committee, but he does recall that the majority of the committee mem-bers favored the mastodon. After some discussion on the subject, Souder says a vote was taken by the committee and the mastodon came out the winner. Souder finished his recollection with these thoughts. “History shows that the advocacy of the geology club was correct. The fast, decisive action of the elected student government—though it did not please ev-eryone and was not a precedent that the University desired to see—has also been upheld by history as IPFW regularly scores high in any list of unique university nick-names; even in this era when everybody strives to be different. We did it decades ago.”

On November 19, 2006, the inaugural class of honorees was inducted into the IPFW Athletics Hall of Fame (pictured below). The Hall of Fame was been established to celebrate the accomplishments of IPFW student-athletes, coaches, teams and supporters who have enhanced and reinforced the college’s commitment to excellence, and five years later now contains 43 members, including four honored this past December, pictured below from left to right: Juan Diaz, Dan Gebhart, and Heather Teagarden.
