MISSOURI VALLEY-BIG SIX CONFERENCE

The Big Six conference (officially, the Missouri Valley
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) is the outgrowth of the
Missouri Valley Conference of Faculty Representatives
formed in 1907. The division came in September, 1927.

Dr. James Naismith, Prof. A. T. Walker, and W.C. Lans-
don represented the University at a preliminary meeting in
Kansas City, Jan. 12, 1907. Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, and
Washington University of St. Louis, also were present. Or-
ganization was completed Feb. 16, of that year. Iowa soon
withdrew, finding interests lying chiefly with the Big Ten.
From time to time other institutions were added (See chart)
and finally the division when the organization became tco
unwieldy. 92427 Big Six
