“…From Mabel Lee's (1931) article through the first 50 years of RQ, we find many articles on women and sport, including attitudes toward women in sport, characteristics of female athletes and physical education majors, and Carpenter's (1938) article on "femininity" and athletic performance. Many of those articles were written by women who were academic leaders in women's physical education programs when men's and women's programs were separate.…”

“…The inaugural 1930 volume included Savage's article on leadership in physical education and McCloy's classic "character building through physical education." Mabel Lee's (1931) article made "the case for and against intercollegiate athletics for women." All three articles were scholarly pieces by academic leaders that undoubtedly influenced subsequent research and practice, but they do not reflect the scientific research methods that became dominant in RQ.…”

Sport and exercise psychology research appearing in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (RQES) over the past 75 years can be characterized by re-emerging themes-hot topics in the 1930s remain hot topics now. Re-emerging themes include sportsmanship/moral development, social development/significant others, self-perceptions, attitudes/motivation, modeling/observational learning, emotion/arousal/anxiety, competition/achievement orientations, and gender roles. Although research paradigms and methodologies have changed, these topics have endured. We also identified dominant emergent themes appearing in RQES over the last 25 years: measurement development and validation; physical activity adoption and adherence; and multidisciplinary approaches to psychological issues. Given the many specialty journals and trends toward integrating models and methods from multiple disciplines, we suggest that RQES adopt a multidisciplinary focus for research in the field of kinesiology.

“…29 As the federal and state government responded through new requirements and the creation of advisory groups both men's and women's physical education continued adopting many of the precepts proposed by the National Education Association. Leaving old notions of physical training for the new psychosocial goal of education through the physical, anthropometrics were emphasized less as educators began focusing on motor 28 Statement;"NAAF: Men's Division Historical Notes, 1922-1923 ability, child study, and motor efficiency. 30 Antimilitaristic sentiments paired with a rise in xenophobia assisted in the replacement of gymnastics systems as many felt that these forms of exercise "smacked of foreign authoritarianism."…”

Two thousand and twelve marked the fortieth anniversary of Title IX and the first Summer Olympic Games in which all attending nations sent female competitors. Too often, scholars of sport history conservatively frame the experiences of girls and women within a narrative of progress. College women's sport participation in particular is framed as a linear narrative beginning with the "new woman's" foray in college physical training, the non-competitive interwar coed, and the post Title IX female athlete. It is within this narrative that the college play day, a sport practice emerging in California and Washington in 1926 began to gain momentum as an additional form of extramural competition for college women. In this dissertation I interrogate which historical and societal forces contributed to the invention, diffusion, and evolution of the college play day. Though the play day is briefly included in descriptive narratives about women's physical activity and sport during the interwar era, deeper explorations are absent. This study aims to further elucidate the extent and variety of forms that the play day took. I aim to explore its general value within the college setting and its reception among women physical educators, colleagues, and play day participants. An additional research question I pose is what are the roles and contributions of certain individuals, alliances, and organizations involved in the invention, adoption, and evolutions of the college play day? Last, I question whether or not the play day is a site in which gender relations or other intersecting relations of power were reproduced, constructed, or transformed? Abstract Approved: ____________________________________ v Communications. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Bonnie Slatton, Christine H.B. Grant, and Peg Burke. My teaching, research, and this dissertation will always remain indebted to their legacies as leaders in athletics, mentors in the classroom, and as exemplary women. Though not a part of my committee, I wish to extend my appreciation to the last presiding chair of the Department of Health and Sport Studies, Beth Pelton. Her warmth combined with a certain steely resolve during times of strife will remain a true and lasting inspiration for many. Several departments and organizations have assisted in the completion of this dissertation. After leaving valued friends and colleagues in Health and Sport Studies the reception my peers and professors received during our transition into the Department of American Studies is worthy of note. The Presenting American Studies paper series, the CESA conference focusing on race and ethnicity in sport, and the representation of Sport Studies students on the American Studies Steering Committee helped make the Jefferson Building feel like our new home. As a member of our growing department I benefited from the financial assistance of the Summer Travel Award. This award helped propel me and my un-air-conditioned vehicle to archives spanning as far west as Nebraska and as far east as Massachuset...
