Title:
Finding Aid: MS 503 - Luther Halsey Gulick Papers
Description:
This is the finding aid for MS 503 - the Luther Halsey Gulick Papers in the Springfield College Archives and Special Collections. This collection documents the work of Luther Halsey Gulick as a pioneer and national leader in health, hygiene, and physical education during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Most of the material covers Gulick’s professional career while he was at Springfield College and while he was in New York City, especially during the 1900-1912 period - there are four scrapbooks of newspaper clippings by and about Gulick dating from those years. More than half of the collection comprises lectures and articles, both published and unpublished, that Gulick wrote between 1897 and 1912. These writings concern the broad spectrum of topics in which Gulick was interested, and many of them relate to areas and organizations in which Gulick was a national leader, including health, physical education, play and playgrounds, gender roles, camping, folk dancing, child hygiene, and amateur athletics. Many of these texts were lectures delivered, for example, before the Department of Physical Training Summer School, the School of Pedagogy at New York University, and at numerous professional conferences. Also included are correspondence, minutes, notes, and other records of several of the national organizations in which Gulick was a leader dating mostly from 1898 to 1917. Some of the organizations in which Gulick was involved include the International Committee of the YMCA, the Academy of Physical Education, the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, the Athletic League of YMCAs of North America, the Camp Fire Girls, Springfield College, and the Triangle Publishing Company. The Camp Fire Girls material includes reports, statements of purpose, and program ideas. Some of the prominent correspondents include George W. Ehler, George T. Hepbron, George B. Hodge, John W. Kelly, Jr., George L. Meylan, F.B. Pratt, James E. Sullivan, members of the A.A.U. basketball committee, and representatives from A.G. Spalding & Bros.
