 The tradition of the North American Society for Sport History to have Honor Addresses was begun in 1973 when the first convention was held at Ohio State University. It was decided to have special lectures to honor individuals who have been significant in the development of sport history. The three chosen in 1973 to be so honored and have addresses named after them were John R. Betts, Maxwell L. Howell, and Seward C. Staley. In 1994, the Maxwell L. Howell Address was expanded to the Maxwell and Reet Howell International Address. |
