This is a photograph of a sculpture of Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, father of physical education and recreation in the United States. Luther Gulick came to the School for Christian Workers, now Springfield College, in 1887 where he helped found the physical training department and served as its first director. The caption on the bottom of the image indicates the sculpture was done by Danish-born American sculptor Christian Petersen.
