<mods:abstract>Materials in this collection include correspondence, newspaper articles, news releases, notes, manuscripts, syllabi, course materials, reports, speeches, audio tapes, plaques, photographs, slides, and miscellaneous materials that have to do with the life and work of Leslie J. Judd. Most of the materials date from the 1940s through his death in 1987. Within the collection are a lot of materials with historical or biographical information. This includes resumes and documents written by the college for use in various publications. In addition, there are various notes taken for his obituary (many of the notes come from “The Life and Work of Leslie Judd” a thesis by Walter F. Ersing). Much of this information is used in the eulogy that Chares F. Weckwerth gives at Judd’s memorial service in 1987 (an audio tape of this service is also present). Other biographical information includes some letters and writings with stories from his long career as a head coach for the Springfield College Men’s Gymnastics team. Some of this is used in a document read at a 1969 dinner held in his honor titled “This is your Life.” With biographical information about Leslie Judd, there is some information about his wife, Muriel Norman Judd. Along with the biographical information, there are writings and class materials written and created by Leslie Judd. This includes writings on dance (including handwritten directions on specific dances), wand drills, comedy gymnastics routines, gymnastics stunts, Tableaux, and exhibition stunts. Some of the titles include “Comedy Gymnastics”, “Methods and Techniques of Rhythms and Dance”, “A Ceremonial Indian Hoop Dance (Choreography), and “Living Statuary Tableaux”. An interesting document is sheet music for the Tableaux’s and other gymnastics performances. This is in a ring binder. Many of these documents were created for various classes taught at Springfield College. Finally, other materials include Judd’s original student file containing his application for Admissions to Springfield College and transcripts from 1915. One interesting letter in this folder is a letter about his work in World War I where he acted as Physical Director for Australian forces. There are other letters as well, including some from Dr. Doggett. These include the letter to Judd about coming to Springfield college in 1915, some from a trip Doggett took in 1926 to his family, and a memo to Judd saying how wonderful he thought the Tableaux’s were – perhaps the first ever shown in the Home Show. Photographs in the collection are mostly portrait photographs, though there are a few group photographs from events as well. For biography of Leslie J. Judd, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/84</mods:abstract>
