Burwell Towns (B.T.) Stadium is located at the southwestern corner of the Morehouse campus at the intersection of Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard and West End Avenue. B.T. Harvey Stadium, completed in 1983, was named in honor of Burwell Towns Harvey, the most successful athletics coach in Morehouse history. B.T. Harvey, a graduate of Colgate University, arrived at Morehouse in 1916 to teach physics and chemistry; he would remain at the college for 42 years. Mr. Harvey coached Maroon Tiger teams in football, basketball, and baseball, for only 13 years, from 1916 until 1929. In that time, Harvey-coached gridiron squads won 59 games, lost 24, and tied six times. His football teams won three conference championships and were undefeated and untied on two occasions. Under Harvey's guidance, Maroon Tiger basketball teams won 131 games, including ten consecutive SIAC championships, and lost only 17 times. On the baseball diamond, Harvey's teams won 112 games, lost 45, and tied three contests. His Maroon Tigers captured four conference titles and tied for two others. In 1969, Professor Harvey was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the National Association of Directors of Athletics. He is also enshrined in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAC), and Atlanta University Center Hall of Fame.
