<mods:abstract>A copy of an article that appeared in a 1914 issue of the Outing Magazine. titled, "McCurdy of Springfield." The article was written by Waldo Aldo. The article is about James Huff McCurdy, a faculty member at Springfield College, at the time known as the International YMCA College. Along with various stories of his innovations and experiments that he was involved in over his career, there is extensive talk about a ventilation system that McCurdy helped design in East Gymnasium of Judd Gymnasia. The article is five pages long and there is a photo of him on the third page. James Huff McCurdy graduated from Springfield College in 1890. In 1895, Dr. James H. McCurdy returned to the school as a instructor. He contributed to the field of physical education in many ways, including his studies on the relationship between heart rate, blood pressure, and motor tasks in adolescent boys. In 1924, he published one of the first texts for Exercise Physiology. In 1918, James H. McCurdy realized the need “for an extensive programme of sports and recreation in the immediate postwar period that would bridge the gap and ease the transition between military service and civilian life.” The result was the Inter-Allied Games, the biggest international sports event that had ever been held at that time. Attended by 25,000 people, the Games were a huge success. Dr. McCurdy was the Director of the Division of Athletes, Hygiene and Health for the American YMCA among American troops in France.</mods:abstract>
