Description
Courses in Physical education and physical exercises were offered to students in the first years of the Michigan State Normal School, but by 1894 a new gymnasium had been built and the Department of Physical Training was established. By 1896 physical training courses were required of all students regardless of major, a requirement that would remain until the 1990s. For the 140th anniversary, A History of Physical Education at Eastern Michigan University was written by Erik Pedersen who was a member of the Health, Recreation, Physical Education and Dance department faculty. One of the most comprehensive histories of any department at Eastern Michigan University, Pedersen provides a thoroughly researched account of the department, its facilities, course offerings, community reach and members of the faculty.
