Howard Rempes, Jr. collection, 1936-2002.

This collection consists of two separate donations, merged into one collection. Documents in the collection cover the years 1936-2002. The bulk of the materials were created in two periods: Rempes' college years in the late 1930s, and his involvement in the 50th reunion and the Heritage Award in the late 1980s. This collection does not contain information about Rempes' professional career and does not include documents from his term as Alumni Association president. A significant portion of this collection is the Jambar newspaper series. It contains Jambar issues from 1936-1939, 1941-1942, and 1949. These issues include articles and cartoons created by Rempes. The newspapers are from the time period when Rempes worked on the Jambar staff. Some of the newspapers have been clipped, but the clippings were placed with the collection and have been organized within the folders. Another important part of the collection is the photographs series, which contains thirty-seven photographs ranging in subject and location. The photographs depict events and people at Youngstown College including art classes, athletics, and student organizations. Some photographs relate to the Jambar. Although most are not identified with a date, the photographs appear to be circa mid to late 1930s. Many of the photos have names and subjects identified on the back. The subject files series retains Rempes' original order and organization. Some of the printed materials were removed and placed in existing collections in the University Archives. See separation sheets in the printed materials series for a complete description.

1 box (0.49 cubic feet) and 3 oversized folders.

While 1908 is viewed as the year of Youngstown State University's birth, its heritage extends further back in time. In 1884, a chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) was founded in the steel-producing city of Youngstown, Ohio. While noted today for addressing the physical fitness needs of young men, the YMCA was once also very concerned about their mental fitness.
