Gentlemen:

We appreciate the problem of administrators in maintaining an
efficient staff. Springfield College has for more than fifty years
been training for directors, coaches and specialists in the field of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and would be glad to
place at your service its facilities by way of cooperating in plans
of organization and administration or of personnel in this general
department of your institution,

There are now more than 2,000 Springfield men trained in these
fields in positions in the United States and Canada, and in 5”
foreign countries. In the present graduating class are 75 men. In
the graduate group are 22 men and women expected to receive their
Master of Education degrees in June or August. Many of these have
already had experience. Both groups, together with alumni who have
graduated within the last ten years, constitute a body of trained
and in many cases experienced educators in this particular field,
Many of the more recent graduates are ready for advancement to more
important positions, so the list contains men qualified for
practically every aspect of teaching, coaching, organizing and
administering, os : =

The curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in~
Gludes 124 semester hours of academic work, of which approximately
70 semester hours are in liberal arts subjects, 50 or more in
professional courses and the balance in technical and related work.
In addition to the above each student must have 12 practice credits
in skills and activities, and 6 semester hours in supervised practice
teaching, An outline of required courses will be sent upon request,
and there is also available an alumni roster showing the exact
locations of Springfield alumni, many of whom are in the most
prominent positions in the educational world,

If you anticipate vacancies in your Department of Health and.
Physical Education, and care to send enough details to form a basis
for an intelligent selection of candidates, we would be most happy
to cooperate with you. We will be glad to have your needs and
wishes in this matter, and promise to give same prompt personal
attention.

Respectfully yours,
