Notes:
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. While there he developed the school's and the YMCA's seal, the inverted triangle. Gulick found the triangle to be the perfect symbol to represent the whole man with the three sides representing the balance of spirit, mind and body. Gulick was also involved in the invention of the game of basketball, directing Naismith to create a sport that could be played indoors during the winter months. In 1910, Gulick and his wife Charlotte founded a sister program to the Boy Scouts of America known as the Camp Fire Girls. The organization emphasized camping, outdoor activities and preparing women for work outside the home. Today the organization is co-ed and known as Camp Fire USA. Gulick died at his summer home in Casco, Maine in 1918.
