A Comparison of Physical Education in Germany and America From the Years 1860-1930. (1963) Directed by: Dr. Rosemary McGee pp:82 A comparison was made of the development of the physical education movement in Germany and America from i860 to 1930. This writer believes that American physical education and German Leibeserziehung are reflections of the political and social attitudes of these two countries. A study was made of the political situation of both countries during this era. The rich cultural heritage and the uneducated political attitude of the Germans were strikingly different from the democracy of the common man in America and the American individualism which were creating a new culture. Socially the current in Germany flowed with the authoritative leaders and was mirrored in the literature. The literature included the extremes of the spirit of the humanity of Goethe to the Germanity of Jahn. -

Moore, Ph.D. Associate Professor of American Material Culture DEDICATION This dissertation is more than just the culmination of a Ph.D. program; it is the product of twenty years of professional experience in outdoor education as well as a dozen years of Scouting before that. As a result, there are decades full of contributors to the ideas presented here. As the Scoutmaster in Troop 38 in Adams, Massachusetts, Don “Bones” Girard has taught the importance of community, responsibility, and a love of adventure to generations of Scouts at the foot of Mount Greylock, including me. John Regentin of the Gettysburg Recreational Adventure Board at Gettysburg College introduced me to the professional world of experiential education when I was a student, teaching me not only the technical skills of backcountry travel, but also the importance of professionalism in the outdoors and the value of a true friend. Dr. Jasper S. Hunt, my graduate school advisor at Minnesota State University-Mankato, showed me the intellectual depth of experiential education. -

Strength Is Health: George Barker Windship and the First American Weight Training Boom
SEPTEMBER 1993 IRON GAME HISTORY Jan Todd The University of Texas at Austin “Strength is Health”: George Barker Windship and the First American Weight Training Boom the blue-blooded, Harvard-trained physician he actually was.4 His black hair was combed back to accentuate his piercing eyes, high forehead and sharp features; his shoulders, though broad, gave no hint of unusual strength or power.5 Some in the crowd had attend- ed lectures by other health reformers, and were surprised by what Windship told them that evening. Here was not another expert argu- ing for light exercise, vegetarianism and moderation. Windship’s message was diametrically different. The body should be made as strong as possible, he contended, with no weak points. It should be balanced and symmetrical with the muscles full and round and strong, like those of the “Farnesian” Hercules.6 The Chicagoans listened closely as he explained that heavy weights and short workouts were the secret to health and longevity. Training should be systematic, he argued with the intensity of the exercise gradually increasing over time. He maintained that workout sessions should never last more than an hour and that proper rest must be obtained before the next day’s training. As for nutrition, meat and a mixed diet helped build Dr. George Barker Windship, The “‘American Samson” as he his strength, he explained, while his experiment with vegetarianism appeared in The Phrenological Almanac. resulted in a diminution of his vitality. Drawing to a close, he field- ed questions for a few minutes before retiring backstage. There, while Bryan Hall filled up quickly that chilly February night in mentally preparing himself, he quickly changed into his lifting cos- 1861 as Chicago’s sporting crowd gathered to see the strongman con- tume, which revealed the large muscles in his arms and shoulders test.1 Dr. -

The goal was to observe how exercise patterns have changed over time, from our most primitive ancestors to where we have come today. In doing this, it was my hope to gain greater insight into the evolution of exercise, and the motives that truly drive different individuals to have the relationships with exercise that they do.
