UW-Milwaukee Dept. of Physical Education, Recreation and Health Education records, 1956-1980.

Description: Miscellaneous records of the Dept. of Physical Education, Recreation and Health Education (PERHE) and its predecessor from 1956 to 1980. Most of the records date from the 1970s and appear to have been created or compiled by the department's chair. Included within the collection are records created by chairs Herman Kluge and Ward K. Gates. One file contains correspondence of the department's chairmen documenting the changes in staffing, space needs, and the curriculum. The largest part of the collection is the masters degree program files (1965-1979) which contain proposals and materials documenting the development of a Master of Science in physical education/human kinetics. The collection also contains policies regarding the physical education program, requirements, and reports of the program for teachers. Also included are proposals for offering a major in women's physical education and a major in men's physical education. Several files in the collection document the planning and administration of the J. Martin Klotsche Center, the physical education building completed in 1977. The files contain correspondence with Michael J. Stolee, Dean of the School of Education, regarding the administration and use of the facility. Also included are miscellaneous brochures and an annual report (1977-1978). Several files relate to the department's 1976 name change from Physical Education to Physical Education, Recreation and Health Education, as well as materials relating to the department's transfer to the School of Allied Health Professions in 1979. Finding aid available in the Archives.
