ADMINISTRATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

 

institutions. The questionnaire was arranged so that much of the infor-
mation could be given in tabular form, without too much detail, and yet
be complete. Space was provided for explanations and suggestions. Many
of the men outlined their programs in detail. If space will permit some of
these will be placed in the study. A careful study of the tables and data
will show some interesting facts on our present programs of physical edu-
cation and intercollegiat2 athletics.

The response to the study by the men in the work has been fine. They
are interested in their work, and in anything that will improve it. The
writer is very much indebted to the men who responded to the question-
naire.

The study was divided into five parts. They are:

1. Departmental personnel.

2. Relation of physical education to athletics.
3. Control of intercollegiate athletics.

4, Physical education program.

5. General information.

The information from the two hundred different institutions was
grouped under three general headings based on the control of the institu-
tion to a great extent. The three groups were:

1. Publicly controlled institutions.
2. Privately controlled institutions.
3. State Teachers Colleges.

Under publicly controlled institutions are 59 colleges and universities.
Under privately controlled institutions are 107 colleges and universities.
And under state teachers colleges are 34 such institutions. In the publicly
controlled groups are the state universities, state A. & M. colleges, muni-
cipal universities and other state conirolled institutions. Under the pri-
vately controlled institutions are the universities and colleges under pri-
vate control The third group is made up of the state teachers colleges.
This last group has grown rapidly in size, enrollment and in their physical
education and athletic programs in recent years. These 200 institutions
represent nearly every state in the union.

1. Departmental Personnel.

Most of the men in the work desire to be recognized as full members
of the faculty of their institutions. They are willing! to secure the neces-
sary graduate degrees to secure this academic rank. Their becoming a
member of the academic faculty would make their positions more secure
and more free from the influences of alumni and others when their teams
fail to win games. Coaches free from continual pressure to win would have
more time to devote to physical educaiion work. The following tables will
show the number of men in each institution who have faculty ranking and
the number who have not.
