This is a brochure about the Hungarian Royal College of Physical Education, a school that Springfield College (then known as International YMCA College) alumnus Ferenc Hepp went to. The first page of the brochure introduces the college's history and the buildings on campus. It also has a photograph of the campus on the top of the page. The second page states the buildings' purposes, the course plan, and the fees for students. The third page has the layout of the buildings. The fourth page is the timetable of the college, which is thought to contain indications of the courses Hepp took. On the top right corner of the page, the handwriting says " under score ― = passed exams, ✓ = did not take". These marks have been written by the courses on the page. Ferenc (Frank) Hepp received a B.S. degree in 1935 and an M.Ed. degree in 1936 from Springfield College, and a PhD degree from University of Iowa. He served as Director of the Royal Hungarian Physical Education Department, President of the Hungarian College of Physical Education and later Chairman of the Hungarian Scientific Research Association for Physical Education and Sports.
