}}Richard Charles Stoll (March 21, 1876 – June 26, 1949) was a judge and prominent alumnus of the University of Kentucky (then known as Kentucky State College).[1] He is the namesake of Stoll Field,[2] and the origin for the school's color scheme.[1]

Early years

Richard C. Stoll was born on March 21, 1876 in Lexington, Kentucky to Richard P. and Elvina Stoll.[1]

College

Kentucky State College

Stoll was a varsity letterman for the Kentucky Wildcats football team. The 1891 team's colors were blue and light yellow, decided before the Centre–Kentucky game on December 19. A student asked "What color blue?" and Stoll pulled off his necktie, and held it up. This is still held as the origin of Kentucky's shade of blue.[3] The next year light yellow was dropped and changed to white.[4]

Yale

After his time at Kentucky State College, he entered Yale Law school.[1]
