HISTORICAL SKETCHSpringfield College was founded by Rev. David Allen Reed in Spring-field, Massachusects, in 188f, under the name of the School for ChristianWorkers. Mr. Jacob T. Bowne, secretary of the International Committee,was called to take charge of the department for training Association officers.This was the pioneer attempt to train secretaries for the Young Men's

Christian Association in a professional school, all previous efforts havingbeen made either in summer schools or training centers.In 1886, the department for physical training was established under thedirection of Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick and has produced 'a large propor-tion of the physical directors now in Association work and many of theleaders in other forms of physical education. In 1890 the Association de-partment was separately incorporated as the International Young Men'sChristian Association Training School. Under the leadership of Mr.Oliver C. Morse, corresponding secretary of the Training School, fundswere secured for a model gymnasium building, which was completed in1894. An athletic field was equipped for sports the same year. Theexisting need of a dormitory and recitation hall was met by the erectionin 1896 of the present administration building of the College.Other buildings followed-Woods Hall in 1904, an additional gym-nasium in 1910, the library and McCurdy Natatorium in 1913, Pratt Fieldin l9l7. Plots of land were added in l92l and the infirmary was built in1922. In 1928 additional land was obtained, increasing the holdings tothe present total of l9f acres.The Expansion and Endowment Fund campaign for 92,i00,000 was suc-cessfully brought to completion in 1925 and additional improvements madeto the carnpus at a cost of $35,000. ln 1927 the new dormitory, AlumniHall, costing $470,000, was opened and improvements to the power plantadded at an expenditure of $60,000.However, the most important historical achievements of the College arenot to be measured in terms of buildings and property, but in men, of whom2 384 have been graduated during the past 50 years. Of this number l,lZJhave entered the service of the Young Men's Christian Association. Inaddition to these, 502 undergraduates who did not complete the require-ments for degrees have been employed by the Young Men's ChristianAssociation, making a total of 1,6?5 Springfield alumni who have enteredAssociation service in the history of the College. During the past severalyears a rapidly increasing number of. graduates have found placement inpublic and private education. social work and public welfare agencies, theministry, medicine and in other service callings. The new developmentsin the curriculum announced in the catalog are intended to meet thesecurrent demands and are in keeping with the trends and practices of curricu-lum adjustment now accepted as essential to the best interests of highereducation in leading American colleges and universities.

GENBRAL PLAN OF THE COLLEGESpringfield College is a standard arts and science college, offeringcourses leading to the bachelor of science degree and preparation foradvanced graduate study. The College offers a curriculum rich in thecultural content of a broad general education. Professional majors areprovided for students desiring special preparation for partigular fields

of life work. Only men of high moral character and service motives inlife are desired. Vocational counsel is available for students who seekfurther information regarding the choice of professions. Scholarship, thedevelopment of a well balanced personality and the ability to work wellwith others are ideals kept constantly before the student body.If not already a member, it is expected that each student will affiliatewith some religious body as an evidence of interest in the religious ob-jective of the College.Thp College employs a faculty of forty-three members in full-timeservice. The curriculum offers a total of. j82 semester hours in wellorganized courses of study. For graduation, 124 semester hours of aca-demic subjects are required and must be accompanied by at least the samenumber of honor credits secured through grading in the various courses.The undergraduate studies are offered as majors and courses classifiedunder each division. A course consists of a particular subject studiedregularly for at least one term and valued with a fixed number of semesterhours of credit. A major is a series of courses selected in counsel witha major adviser for the purpose of mastering some field of general knowl-edge or preparing to meet certain standards required for vocational orprofessional competency.- For practical administrative purposes, as well as for the developmentof more- effective methods in teaching and guidance, the College is ad-ministered through the three general divisions, with majors and majoradvisers assigned to each division. The recruiting and registration of allstudents is planned through the various divisions and educational andvocational counsel is provided according to student needs.

GRADUATE STUDYGraduates of Springfield College, or those having done equivalent workelsewhere, may enroll I'or graduate study (see separate Graduate bulletinfor particulars). The coulse must be laid out at the beginning by thedirei:tor and approved by the graduate committee. The aim is to dowork of an orilinal character. This work will be embodied in a thesis,of which two Copies and four acceptable summaries must be presentedto the College. Two of the four summaries must be bound in the theses.The master of physical education (M. P. E.) and master of educa-

tion (M. Ed.) deerees require 3l semester hours of work for students whohave'complet"d"the foui year course. Graduates from other colleges whohave not-maiored in the technical courses in physical education maycomplete the master's course in two years (from 60 to 75 horlrs) providedtheii courses have included sufficient science. All candidates for themaster's degree must present satisfactory evidence of successful teachingbefore the -advanced -degree is granted. Seven of the 31 hours are inthe thesis and eight in special seminars. At least 19 hours must be ingraduate level su6jects. 'Twelve hours may be in upper level subjects byarrangement with the director. The residence requirements may b9 m9tby one year of graduate work in Springfield or by four summer schools.The limit in graduate units at any one summer school is six. On approvalof the director six graduate units may be secured in some other college.This would reduce- by one the number of summers in residence. Thecourse for either of the advanced degrees is based on a conference betweenthe director and the student. The major and the thesis are selected onthe basis of the interest of the student dnd on the needs for original workin specific fields.
