Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Avery Brundage (pronounced /ˈeɪvri ˈbrʌndɨdʒ/; September 28, 1887 – May 8, 1975) was an American sports official, art collector, and philanthropist. A controversial figure, he has been widely criticized for attitudes expressed and decisions he made as a member of the United States Olympic Committee and as president of the International Olympic Committee.Born in Detroit, Michigan, Brundage moved to Chicago at age six (shortly after which his father abandoned the family), and later studied civil engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating in 1909. A few years later, he founded the Avery Brundage Company, which was active in the building business around Chicago until 1947. His personal papers are located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Archives. Brundage was an all-around athlete, competing in the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm in the pentathlon and decathlon events, finishing 6th and 16th, respectively, placing behind teammate Jim Thorpe. He also won the US national all-around title in 1914, 1916 and 1918.
