Rhode Island College alumni serve the College and their communities in a variety of ways, and none more so than Joe Murphy. A recipient of three Rhode Island College degrees, Joe often works behind the scenes on activities that date back to his undergraduate days as a management major. His most recent efforts, in collaboration with the family, colleagues and friends of the late Michael J. (The Doc) Gonsalves ’86, have resulted in the establishment of an endowment fund in Gonsalves’ name. Joe also lends his leadership and fi nancial skills in organizing an annual golf tournament that benefi ts the Gonsalves Fund. Joe serves as president of the Epsilon chapter of Kappa Delta Phi, and organizes events throughout the year to support social connections and philanthropic efforts. He earned a second degree in accounting in 2002, and in January, earned a master in professional accountancy – all while holding down a full-time job and being dad to two small children. 2007 Alumni Staff Award Deborah E.

    Day, D and Harris, L (2018) “Who in England cares about the champion spear tosser?” Field Events and the British Athletic Psyche before World War One. Journal of Sport History, 45 (2). pp. 165-182.

Field Events and the British Athletic Psyche before First World War. Abstract The British Olympic Association was formed by men whose class attitudes were reflected in their adherence to traditional notions of amateurism. An emphasis on elegance and a suspicion of professional coaches were central to their ethos and resulted in the middle-class amateur focusing on events that accommodated the symmetrical body while avoiding events that demanded a more proletarian, highly trained functional body. The result was the almost complete absence of amateurs from the field events arena to the long-term detriment of the competitiveness of British international teams, although between the 1908 London Games and the outbreak of War in 1914 efforts were made to redress the balance between track and field. Using press reports and organizational archives, this paper uncovers some of these initiatives and concludes that their failure to make a difference is confirmation of how deeply amateur values had been embedded within the British athletic system. KEYWORDS: Athletes Advisory Club, Amateur Field Events Association, amateurism, coaching INTRODUCTION The British Olympic Association (BOA) was created in 1905 by a group of aristocratic and educated middle-class men who typified British administrators of sport in this period.1 They were wedded to the concept of amateurism and their class attitudes were reflected in the way their emphasis on style and suspicion of professional coaches, who produced muscular, specialized sporting bodies, featured in their approach to elite sport.
