Men’s Basketball Teams
The men’s basketball teams of the early 1900’s played in Tredway Gymnasium, Kalamazoo College’s first athletic facility, which was built in 1912 and named after benefactor, Arthur Tredway. After standing nearly seven decades, the gym was demolished in 1908 to make way for the Anderson Athletic Center.
