Henry Schulte

[3] Charges of not being a bona fide student were lobbied against Schulte in 1900 by Missouri School of Mines and by C. B. C., leading to the expulsion of the Washington University manager.

In response to the controversy, the faculty at Michigan ruled Schulte and two other football players, Germany Schulz and Walter Rheinschild, academically ineligible.

[1] From 1906 to 1908, Schulte served as coach of the football, baseball and track teams at Eastern Michigan University.

He has given Missouri in a coaching way what C. L. Brewer has supplied in the way of careful management and the upbuilding of a fine athletic plant.

[6][11][12] One newspaper columnist noted that "his work with the big, sturdy plainsmen of the Cornhusker state largely was responsible for the name the school built for itself.

[2] At Nebraska, the track athletes coached by Schulte included Ed Weir, John "Choppy" Rhodes, Hugh Rhea, Sam Francis and Lloyd Cardwell.

A newspaper story on the coaching school reflected the popularity of Schulte's classes:"Henry 'Indian' Schulte, University of Nebraska, concluded his track and field work yesterday, and was given a rousing send-off by the 200 or more coaches who have been attending his lectures.

... One of the most popular lecturers to appear here, Schulte, who is getting along in years but younger in ideas and thought, has had almost as large a following as any football coach on the staff.

Schulte Fieldhouse was demolished to make room for the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, which was completed in 2006.
