The Director,
Department of Physical Education.

In 1929 a committee of the American Physical EZducation Association
under the chairmanship of the late Dr. J. H. McCurdy made a study "on the
curriculum of the 139 Institutions preparing Teachers of Physical Education
in the United States." The published result of this study is now, of course,
out of date, and also out of print. To bring the study up to date; and, if
possible to distinguish trends during the past eleven years, the Graduate
Committee of Springfield College, Sprinsfield, Mass., has asked me to

conduct a similar study relative to the curricula of 1940-41.

As an institution preparing teachers of Physical Education I would
like you to send me your catalog for 1940-41, from which I could secure
information concerning your courses of study, hour requirements, etc. It
is my intention to analyze the catalog of each institution, tabulate the

results, and submit the analysis to the college or university concerned for
approval. These approved summaries would then be compiled to give a complete
picture of Physical Education training practices throughout the country.

In a study of this kind, valuable as it may be, the results are

directly proportional to the vercentage of returns secured. Therefore I
hope that I may count on your cooperation in sending me the catalog requested.

Sincerely yours,
