SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS
 HISTORICAL SKETCH
Springfield College was founded by Rev. David Allen Reed in Spring-
field, Massachusects, in 188f, under the name of the School for Christian
Workers. 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 having
been made either in summer schools or training centers.
In 1886, the department for physical training was established under the
direction of Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick and has produced 'a large propor-
tion of the physical directors now in Association work and many of the
leaders in other forms of physical education. In 1890 the Association de-
partment was separately incorporated as the International Young Men's
Christian Association Training School. Under the leadership of Mr.
Oliver C. Morse, corresponding secretary of the Training School, funds
were secured for a model gymnasium building, which was completed in
1894. An athletic field was equipped for sports the same year. The
existing need of a dormitory and recitation hall was met by the erection
in 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 Field
in l9l7. Plots of land were added in l92l and the infirmary was built in
1922. In 1928 additional land was obtained, increasing the holdings to
the 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 made
to the carnpus at a cost of $35,000. ln 1927 the new dormitory, Alumni
Hall, costing $470,000, was opened and improvements to the power plant
added at an expenditure of $60,000.
However, the most important historical achievements of the College are
not to be measured in terms of buildings and property, but in men, of whom
2 384 have been graduated during the past 50 years. Of this number l,lZJ
have entered the service of the Young Men's Christian Association. In
addition to these, 502 undergraduates who did not complete the require-
ments for degrees have been employed by the Young Men's Christian
Association, making a total of 1,6?5 Springfield alumni who have entered
Association service in the history of the College. During the past several
years a rapidly increasing number of. graduates have found placement in
public and private education. social work and public welfare agencies, the
ministry, medicine and in other service callings. The new developments
in the curriculum announced in the catalog are intended to meet these
current demands and are in keeping with the trends and practices of curricu-
lum adjustment now accepted as essential to the best interests of higher
education in leading American colleges and universities.
 GENBRAL PLAN OF THE COLLEGE
Springfield College is a standard arts and science college, offering
courses leading to the bachelor of science degree and preparation for
advanced graduate study. The College offers a curriculum rich in the
cultural content of a broad general education. Professional majors are
provided for students desiring special preparation for partigular fields
of life work. Only men of high moral character and service motives in
life are desired. Vocational counsel is available for students who seek
further information regarding the choice of professions. Scholarship, the
development of a well balanced personality and the ability to work well
with others are ideals kept constantly before the student body.
If not already a member, it is expected that each student will affiliate
with 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-time
service. The curriculum offers a total of. j82 semester hours in well
organized courses of study. For graduation, 124 semester hours of aca-
demic subjects are required and must be accompanied by at least the same
number of honor credits secured through grading in the various courses.
The undergraduate studies are offered as majors and courses classified
under each division. A course consists of a particular subject studied
regularly for at least one term and valued with a fixed number of semester
hours of credit. A major is a series of courses selected in counsel with
a major adviser for the purpose of mastering some field of general knowl-
edge or preparing to meet certain standards required for vocational or
professional
- competency.
For practical administrative purposes, as well as for the development
of more- effective methods in teaching and guidance, the College is ad-
ministered through the three general divisions, with majors and major
advisers assigned to each division. The recruiting and registration of all
students is planned through the various divisions and educational and
vocational counsel is provided according to student needs.

covering the requirements in the state in which they expect to teach.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The total hours required for graduation are lj4 to 137. One hundred
and twenty*four of these are in academic semester hours and l0 to 13 in
physical activity credit hours. An academic semester hour is defined as
the equivalent of 17 lecture or recitation hours. Thirty-four laboratory
hours equal one semester hour. Fifty-one hours of physical activity
represent one credit hour. Each semester or credit hour in lecture,
laboratory or physical activity represents a minimum of 5l hours in class
attendance or preparation.
ELECTIVES
Elective courses in other fields of study are allowed in addition to the
regular 3l semester hours per year, provibed the elective does not inter-

SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer session is in reality the fourth term of the college year.
Its duration is only five weeks, but classes are held six days per week,
generally with two clock hours a day devoted to a subject, thereby ena-
bling a student to secure three semester hours in each course. Thedates
for 1936 are June 29 to August 1.
6. Olyrnpic Study Tour. Springfield College through the
Graduate School and the Summer School will cooperate with the "Y"
Boys Tour in organizing a study tour to the Olympic Games. Six
courses under Springfield College faculty leadership will be offered:
history and trends of physical education; research problems in physical
education; international relations; world social problems; world economic,
industrial and financial problems; and the world Y. M. C. A. and religious
problems. Graduate credit will be granted.

Attendance at the summer session is particularly convenient for those
employed who wish to advance their rating in either the graduate or under-
graduate departments. Undergraduates by registering may reduce the
number of years necessary to cornplete requirements for the baccalaureate
degree, while graduate students may without loss of income complete the
requirements for their master's degree through attendance at thesummer
session.
Tuition and Expenses
The regular tuition rate is $10 per semester hour. Living accom-
modations can be secured in the College dormitories, located on the
shores of beautiful Lake Massasoit, or in near-by homes, at very reasona-
ble rates. Springfield College and vicinity offer remarkable opportuni-
ties for combining a healthful vacation with graduate study.

The summer session is organized with the following major schools: The visit to the Olympics alone, if so desired, can be arranged and
may be made for $365.
1. Graduate Courses. Courses in education, physical education
and social science, leading to the degree of Master of Education (M. Ed.)
