OeuiyickJjind Preface I attribute to the "Avery Brundage Collection" presented here as a publication a significance not only in the area of sport. It is - beyond that - certainly of general interest as well, for Avery Brundage was without doubt an historical personality of our times. His life had many dimensions. He was a great entrepreneur and master-builder, friend of the fine arts and patron of learning. His word was also heeded in the political world. But above all he was a sportsman and for two decades the undisputed leader of the Olympic movement. It is worthy of merit that the Bimdesinstitut fUr Sportwissenschaft in Cologne has, in painstaking labor, traced hitherto largely unknown footsteps of Avery Brundage and made them available in this volume to the interested public. Many original, indeed eccentric facts will come to light. But Avery Brundage knew that Olympic Games deserted by good spirits could be the poorest thing in the world. And for that reason he employed his commitment and his entire intellectual resources in coming to terms with all aspects of sports. The latter will doubtless be able to profit from all he has bequeathed. CWilli Daume) Dr. sport sc. h.c. President of the National Olympic Committee of Germany VORWORT "Deutschland hat grosse Verdienste um die Verbreitung der Olympischen Idee", Musserte Avery Brundage anlHsslich seines Besuches im Bundesinstitut ftlr Sportwissenschaf t im Sommer ^ 1974. Deswegen sei er auch bereit, seine umfangreiche Materialsammlung dem Bundesinstitut fUr Sportwissenschaf t zu Uberlassen. Der Umfang des Nachlasses wurde von ihm auf ca. 60 Kisten geschStzt, in denen er alles gesammelt hat, seitdem er 1912 zum ersten Mai als Aktiver bei den Olympischen Spielen in Stockholm teilnahm. Inzwischen hat die UniversitSt von Illinois in Urbana (USA) - Brundage 's Alma Mater - das Archiv Ubernommen and f estgestellt, dass es nicht ca. 60 Kisten, sondern 325 wohlgeordnete Archiv-Boxen sind, in denen die gesamte Sammlung Ubersichtlich und leicht zugMnglich in den ArchivrHumen der UniversitHt aufbewahrt wird. Das Bundesinstitut hat grosses VerstHndnis fUr die Entscheidung des ehemaligen IOC-Pr€sidenten, seinen Kachlass an seine UniversitMt (Iberstellt zu haben. Avery Brundage hat aber dem Bundesinstitut fUr Sportwissenschaf t als einzigem ausl^ndischen Institut die Genehmigung erteilt, das gesamte Material auf Mikrofilm aufzunehmen. Diese Arbeiten werden zur Zeit in Illinois durchgefUhrt, so dass in etwa einem iialben Jahr ca. 400.00 Seiten sporthistorisch wertvolles Material auf Mikrofilm dem Institut in K8ln zur VerfUgung stehen. Die vorliegende, von Maynard J. Brichford erstellte Ubersicht der Brundage-Sammlung gibt einen eindrucksvollen Einblick in das demnSchst dem Bundesinstitut zur VerfUgung stehende Material und dlirfte alien an Sport- und Zeitgeschichte Interessierten bereits in dieser Form von grossem Wert sein. Prof. Dr. A. Kirsch Direktor des BUNDESINSTITUTS FUR SPORTWISSENSCHAFT FORWARD "Germany deserves great appreciation for the diffusion of the Olympic idea", asserted Avery Brundage on the occasion of his visit to the Bund es ins ti tut fUr Sportwissenschaf t (Federal Institute of Sport Science) in the summer of 1974. Therefore ne provided for the Bundesinstitut fUr Sportwissenschaf t to have access to his extensive collection of materials. The volume of the papers from him was estimated to be about 60 transfer cases, in which he gathered everything since he took part for the first time in the activities of the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm. Meanwhile the University of Illinois in Urbana (USA) - Brundage 's Alma Mater - acquired the archives and found that there were not about 60 transfer cases, but 325 well arranged archives boxes, in which the entire clearly arranged and easily accessible collection will be kept in the University Archives. The Bundesinstitut greatly appreciates the decision of the late President of the International Olympic Committee to transfer his collection to his former university. However, Avery Brundage granted his permission to the Bundesinstitut fUr Sportwissenschaft as the only foreign institute to record all of the material on microfilm. This work will be accomplished in time in Illinois; in about a half year about 400,000 pages of valuable sports history material will be on microfilm at the disposal of the institute in K8ln. The submitted survey of the Brundage Collection drawn up by Maynard J. Brichford gives a complete, concise view of the material soon to be at the disposal of the Bundesinstitut and, prepared in this form, likely to be of great value for those interested in contemporary history and the history of sport.

  • Fighting for Acceptance
    FIGHTING FOR ACCEPTANCE: SIGFRID EDSTR0M AND AVERY BRUNDAGE: THEIR EFFORTS TO SHAPE AND CONTROL WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES Carly Adams* In the twenty-first century, women train for and compete in grueling and physically taxing sports that were once considered appropriate for men only. Such participation was considered inappropriate by the Modern Olympic Games founder Pierre de Cou- bertin and his aristocratic colleagues who were fiercely opposed to the sight of straining, sweaty, muscular women participating in arduous physical activities. The Olympic Games, as Coubertin's personal venture, supported by traditional upper-class male sport leaders, were established to celebrate and embrace the physical accomplishments of men, not women. Reflecting Victorian notions of his time, sport to Coubertin was an arena for the development of human sporting bodies, and the traditional masculine virtues of strength and moral character. Like any other organization, these Games had leadership that mapped out specific goals and rules, with their intentions and values manifested through the creation of governing policies. There has long been a struggle for control over, and acceptance of, women's sports within the modern Olympic movement. Women have been active in sport since the 19th century; they even competed unofficially at the Olympic Games in golf and tennis as early as 1900. However, from the onset, women's participation has been an uphill battle characterized by restrictions, modera- tion, and exclusion. Since the establishment of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, women sport leaders have been challenging the anachronistic ideas of the IOC, fighting for their right to participate in this traditionally male preserve.

The Berlin Olympics: Sports, Anti-Semitism, and Propaganda in Nazi Germany Abstract The aN zis utilized the Berlin Olympics of 1936 as anti-Semitic propaganda within their racial ideology. When the Nazis took power in 1933 they immediately sought to coordinate all aspects of German life, including sports. The process of coordination was designed to Aryanize sport by excluding non-Aryans and promoting sport as a means to prepare for military training. The 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin became the ideal platform for Hitler and the Nazis to display the physical superiority of the Aryan race. However, the exclusion of non-Aryans prompted a boycott debate that threatened Berlin’s position as host.

Text documents and microfilms. Name of creator International Olympic Committee (IOC). Administrative / Biographical history Avery Brundage was born in 1887 in Detroit, Michigan (USA). He came from a modest family, of which the father, Charles Brundage, was a stonemason. His secondary education took place at the Crane Manual Training School in Chicago. He then went on to the University of Illinois, where he obtained a diploma in civil engineering in 1909. As well as being an outstanding student, Brundage was also an accomplished athlete. A follower of athletics, he practised several sports throughout his studies and alongside his various professional activities. In 1912, his passion for athletics led him to the Olympic Games (OG) in Stockholm, where he represented the United States in the pentathlon and decathlon events, finishing in sixth and 16th place respectively. Furthermore, two years later, he obtained the title of American national champion in “all-around”, a discipline similar to decathlon, but where the events take place on a single day. He went on to win this competition twice again, in 1916 and 1918. The fame he gained through this throughout the American sports world was not unconnected to his later involvement in the Olympic Movement. Brundage added professional success to his sporting success.

Page 3 Body………………………………………………... Page 4 Nazi Germany……………………………………. Page 4 The Use of Propaganda………………………. Page 6 The Games………………………………………….. Page 10 Conclusion………………………………………. Page 11 Bibliography…………………………………… Page 12 2 Nota D Introduction The 1936 Berlin Olympics were held during the rule of Adolf Hitler, who had risen into power in 1934 and faced a lot of pressure from the countries inside Europe because they questioned their idea of a dictatorship. During the period between 1932, year in which the venue for the 1936 Olympics was decided and when the Games started in August 1936 there was a very big focus on using the Olympic Games as a mean of propaganda to attempt to show a positive image of Germany to the rest of the world and also to the people inside Germany. Throughout this essay I am going to analyze the ways in which Hitler attempted to create this positive image of Germany and how successful it was on displaying it. The idea is to understand how they managed to use the Olympic games and turn them into a political advantage that gain control over Germany and the start of the World War.1 The Berlin Games were a huge opportunity to ease the tension that Hitler’s regime was creating at that time, attempting to postpone any further political or social problems as far as possible. This was of great importance because the Games would draw peoples attention from the Nazi Party and the problems that Germany was facing at the time.
