  • Muscular Christian Edmonton: the Story of the Edmonton Young Men’S Christian Association 1898-1920
    MUSCULAR CHRISTIAN EDMONTON: THE STORY OF THE EDMONTON YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 1898-1920 Monograph by Courtney van Waas Graduate Program in Kinesiology A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sport History The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada © Courtney van Waas 2015 Abstract From its initial conception as the EYMI in 1898 to its emergence as the Edmonton YMCA through 1920, the institution always had a distinct purpose. The absence of a Muscular Christian agenda in the EYMI, coupled with a purposive refocusing of programming within the YMCA towards what was directed towards the public interest, religion within this institution waned following World War I. Newspapers and executive minute notes demonstrate the EYMI focus on producing the next generation of respectable businessmen. The Edmonton YMCA attempted to fulfill the task of ‘saving’ young men by distracting them from social vices. As a result of the far-reaching social influences of the First World War, the YMCA significantly turned away from its religious practices. Indeed, the YMCA shifted emphasis from its religious-oriented Muscular Christian emphasis towards providing more secular, athletic programs and services to its members. Keywords Edmonton Young Men’s Institute (EYMI), Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), Edmonton Bulletin Newspaper, Executives EYMI and YMCA Minutes Books, Muscular Christianity ii Acknowledgments For Elijah Paul van Waas The man who showed me true Muscular Christianity A special thank-you to Henk and Sylvia van Waas For your tireless reading and helpful suggestions Candace and Ryan Kraushaar For your encouragement to take a Masters in the first place And my supervisor Dr.
