All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
To have a sound and complete philosophy of education is a relative must for all people concerned with the teaching of children.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The movement for intramural sports has developed and expanded greatly in the past two decades. Much of this growth has been attained by hard and patient work through many years. The pioneer work now accomplished, intramural directors must still assume the responsibility of keeping their programs abreast of the times.
Intramural sports appeared in schools long before interscholastic athletics. Students associated themselves together in clubs and competed against each other.
