After that changeover,
Barnes & Noble College redesigned layout and displays in the McMinnville
campus store. The bookstore sent out a request to Linfield community members
asking for quotes it might use in that effort.
A Linfield staff member, who
requested anonymity, was among those responding. "I found this gem (quote from Ad Rutschman, Linfield athletic director emeritus and former Linfield football and baseball coach) as
well as a few others, and passed them along. This is the one (the bookstore) chose. I like
it," the staffer said.
Chad Cottrill, bookstore
manager, said, "... We wanted to have an inspirational quote from a
Linfield coach, professor or administrator that would be a focal point" in
the store's new layout. "Coach
Rutschman's words were very appropriate for the message we wanted to convey to
the Linfield community and visitors to the campus" when they visit the
store.
There are Linfield Bookstores on the McMinnville and Portland campuses.
