Ewartmmt nf 1911;129:311 Ehumtinn The department of Physical Education was organized in Indiana State Normal in 1897-98, with Alice C. Wright as the head of the woments branch and John P. Kimmel as head of the mens The early work included regular courses in calisthenies. Three terms of work were required of every student and one credit was given for the three terms. An Athletic Association was maintained with Parsons Field as a. center for outdoor activities. The successors of Miss Wright and Mr. Kimmel were: Bertha Curry, acting profese sotr in 1900; Edith Maelure Love 1898; Florence Curry 1903; Edith Hamilton 1908; Edith Bailey 1910; Bertram Wiggins 1912; A. F. Westphal 1912; Birch E.- Bayh 1917, and Lil- lian Sanger 1919. 7 In 1911 for the first time a credit could be secured for two terms of work in place of the 01d three term plan. At that time the courses were enlarged and very successful work accomplished. At present the womerfs department under the skilful direction of Miss Sanger real- izes a fourfold aim, 111 Hygienic and corrective, t21 Educative, t31 Recreative, H1 Pro- fessional. Courses in special graded gymnastics, folk-daneing, and play ground work be- side the regular gymnastic work compose the Cirrieulum. With the exception of a leave during the war period, Mr. Bayh has been in continuous service as head of the mens department since June 1917. Three phases of physical edu- cation are emphasized under Mr. Bayh, first, the regular class gymnastics for the general health of the student in college and in later life; second, the maintenance of athletics for intercollegiate activities; and third, the professional training required for the handling of high school athletics.

Elm $mhpnt Euilhing The need of a Student Building for the Indiana State Normal School was realized as early as 1907, when the class of that year contributed an amount over three hundred dol- lars toward a building fund. In 1917, a campaign was launched for the further raising of funds, With a committee composed of representative trustees, faculty, alumni, and stu- dents, of which Prof. F. S. Bogardus was chairman. The funds raised in that year ap- proximated $7,500 and prosepects appeared Very hopeful. ' War developments stopped all prospects of building, but on September 20, 1917, the: residence of the late Colonel Martin, for a number of years Secretary of the Normal Board of Trustees, was purchased to supply the need of such a building, temporarily. The pur- pose of the Student Building was, and still is, to furnish a social center for school organi- zations, and to direct and develop social life among all students. This building was fur- nished under the capable direction of Dean Schweitzer and was opened to the students April 26, 1918. For a time the building was used as a tiFluii Hospital during the S. A. T. C. In the fall of 1918 Miss Fannie White was the matron in charge. In the fall of 1919 Miss Elizabeth Rose took up her residence there as Assistant Dean. Under her direction the building has become a Vital center of student life. The following organ- izations hold regular meetings in the Student Building: On Monday. Philomothean, Tro- jan, and Daedalian; on Tuesday, Y. W. C. A. and Ciceronians; on Wednesday, Psychology Club, Science Club, Electric, and Press Club; on Thursday, Alethenai, Y. M. C. A. and Stu- dent Volunteer Band; on Sunday, the Dinner Club and Bible Class. Friday and Saturday are reserved for parties by the various sections of the Womenis League and other student groups of Normal proper and 0f the Training school. This building so amply fulfills all social needs of the student body at present, that the prospect of building in the near future has been abandoned. However the nucleus of the old Student Building fund still remains intact and will undoubtedly meet some future need.
