Football Programs

Jason Marquart is a Graduate Program Advisor at the McKelvey School of Engineering. Alongside his career with the university, Marquart has developed a strong passion for Washington University in St. Louis Athletics and an extensive collection of WashU football programs.

Printed for each game, these football programs chronicle the history of Bears Football and give a taste of campus culture over the last century. While some recent programs are included with others dating back to the 1930s, most of this collection is made up of programs from the 1960s.

Marquart describes himself as “the third biggest Washington University fan on-campus” and is still working to develop this fascinating collection.

Our football squad has high expectations this year as they look to make it to a postseason game for the third consecutive year. The Bears have five games scheduled at Francis Olympic Field and offer free admission to faculty and staff. Do not forget to pick up a game day program!
