This 1975 image of a formation to honor Miss Wheelchair Ohio was used on President Enarson’s Holiday Card that year. The message on the inside read: "Photograph: The Ohio State University Marching Band forms the International Symbol of Access for a 1975 pre game show honoring Miss Wheelchair America. The symbol of access identifies facilities and services free of barriers to handicapped persons. As Ohio State moves forward in its program to accommodate the handicapped, the symbol of access appears across the campus." The Photograph is credited to Ralph Goodrich.
