This color poster, titled "Indiana Normal" and dated 1902, is tied to the football program of the school, a distinction the record marks as unverified. Football posters from this period were often bold, graphic advertisements for games, rallies, or team loyalty, when college athletics was growing quickly and drawing crowds of students, alumni, and local fans. The record credits Bristow Adams as the designer and files the piece under universities and colleges, sports, and posters. Its small set of catalog tags makes it a useful example of how early American schools used printed promotion to build school spirit.
