caption_attribution_description: English: Nebraska coach Henry Schulte
context_page_description: Henry Frank Schulte was an American football player and coach of football, basketball, baseball, and track and field. Schulte played football at Washington University in St. Louis from 1898 to 1900 and at the University of Michigan from 1903 to 1905 and later coached football and track and field at Eastern Michigan University, Southeast Missouri State University, University of Missouri, and University of Nebraska. Schulte was often referred to by the nickname "Indian" Schulte, though he was of German rather than Native American descent.
context_section_description: In 1939, Schulte resigned as Nebraska's track coach due to illness.  After several years of illness, Schulte died at Lincoln, Nebraska in October 1944 at age 65.  In its obituary for Schulte, the Associated Press referred to Schulte as the "grand old man" of the University of Nebraska track teams.
  Schulte was married to Neva Schulte, born in 1889 in Marcellus, Michigan.  They had a son, Henry A. Schulte, born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1924.
  When Nebraska completed a new athletic field house in 1946, it was named Schulte Fieldhouse in his honor.  Schulte Fieldhouse was demolished to make room for the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, which was completed in 2006.
