Notes:
Luther Halsey Gulick is known as the father of physical education and recreation in the United States. He 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. Gulick also created Springfield College's seal, the inverted triangle, whose three sides represent the whole man - in spirit, mind and body. Later the triangle was adopted by the YMCA and is still the basis for the symbol they use today. In 1918, Gulick answered a call from the YMCA to serve as chairman of its International Committee on Physical Recreation of the War Work Council. He traveled to France, where he conducted a survey among the soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force. The survey aimed at determining the moral and physical well being and sex hygiene of the servicemen. Gulick died at his summer home in Maine at the age of 52
