DES MOINES, Iowa - It is a time to celebrate today as Drake Athletics honors Mr. Drake, Paul Morrison, on his 99th birthday. Paul has devoted his life to Drake and it is only fitting that we pay tribute to a true living legend.
In 1935 Morrison arrived on the Drake University campus as a student with aspirations of attaining his undergraduate degree before attending medical school. While at Drake, however, he became extremely active in journalism, becoming sports editor of the Times-Delphic as well as the Drake yearbook, the Quax. Morrison also was a member of Chi Delta Fraternity, which is now the current Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter.
