The Springfield Student (vol. 131, no. 18) Mar. 2, 2017
No full text“The Springfield Student” was first published in 1909 in the Association Seminar, an alumni publication. The portion published in the Association Seminar has been digitized and can be seen in The Springfield College Alumni Magazine Collection (http://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/search/collection/p16122coll3/searchterm/The%20Springfield%20Student/field/spring/mode/all/conn/and/order/date). Generally, “The Springfield Student” includes information about student organizations, athletics, alumni, and events. It also occasionally includes student poetry and fiction, as well as the conclusions of student-designed research. As the publication evolved, “The Springfield Student” began including editorials on world events and popular culture, as well as letters to the editor. Originally, the “Springfield Student” was published monthly from October through June, and its formatting resembled a magazine. In October 1913, the cover illustration simplified to only the title, the date, and the capital letter “S,” but the content and structure remained unchanged. On September 27, 1916, “The Springfield Student” was reformatted to resemble a newspaper: the pages decreased from around thirty to just four, it no longer included a cover, and it became a weekly publication. In the inaugural weekly issue, the editors explained the motivation behind the change: “To sustain the intimate and helpful relations that our Alumni and College should stress we feel that a weekly news publication is the best possible medium. [...] It is the purpose of the Staff to cover all College and Student Association activities in a very live way, reporting athletic contests in brief snappy articles, and giving members of the Alumni Associations space for contributions and newsy items.” During October 1917, in acknowledgement of the limited resources and significantly smaller student body caused by the United States’ involvement in World War I, the “The Springfield Student” ceased its weekly publication and instead published a few pages each month in the “The Association Seminar.” Two years later, October 1919, “The Springfield Student” resumed weekly publication. In this first issue, the editors wrote that they wanted to re-establish the newspaper “as the mouthpiece or spokesman of the student body.

Leslie Mann Baseball Lantern Slide, No. 270
No full textCy Williams, an outfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies, looks up in the air while keeping his arms to his sides at Baker Bowl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Williams's right foot is planted on the ground as his left foot is lifted slightly off the ground with both of his feet spread about shoulder width distance apart.Cy Williams is demonstrating a way for a fielder to shift their body weight from one side of their body to the other. As Williams plants his right foot on the ground, he is using this foot to push forward to the left side of him, which in effect shifts all of his body weight to this side of his body. This is important because it will make it easier for Williams to move towards his left as he goes to catch the fly ball. Williams can shift his body weight to the appropriate side depending upon the location of the baseball, and this shift in body weight can make it easier for Williams to catch a fly ball that is hit to the left side of his body. Basically, Williams is able to move his center of gravity here so that it is closer to the location of the baseball, which makes it easier for him to extend his glove out and catch the baseball. This lantern slide matches the slide numbered 270 that Leslie Mann describes in his manual. However, we did not have this slide in our collection and had a different slide numbered 270. Because of this, this is David Brayfield's slide, which seems to match the description in the manual. A link to our 270 is attached here; https://cdm16122.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16122coll10/id/225/rec/1Yes;Fred Williams was born December 21, 1887, in Wadena, Indiana. Williams went to college at Notre Dame, and had never played baseball professionally before arriving there. In fact, before arriving at Notre Dame, Williams was mainly a football and track star. Williams joined the baseball team in college and gained the attention of a scout who wanted him to sign with Chicago Cubs. Williams would eventually sign with the team during his senior year of college. He jumped immediately to the Major Leagues, but played only 28 games in his first season with the Cubs in 1912. Williams only played part-time for the Cubs during his first three years, and didn't get a chance to sign full-time until 1915. Part of the Dead Ball Era, Williams hit 13 home runs in 1915 which was second in the NL. Six of the 13 were actually inside the park homeruns. Williams had become one of if not the fastest baserunners in the sport by 1915. In 1917, Williams was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. It took a couple years for Williams to find his stride, but Williams hit over .300 in six of the next seven seasons. In 1923, Williams hit 41 home runs, breaking the national league record for most home runs hit in a single season. Williams finished his career with 251 home runs, which was the National League record upon his retirement.Leslie Mann identifies the player in slide 270 as Cy Williams on page 50 of his manual titled the Fundamentals of Baseball.Good condition;This digital image is made from two separate digital scans; one scan of the lantern slide (reflective); one scan of the image (transparecy); the two images were then combined in Photoshop to create the final imag
Finding Aid: MS 528 Attallah A. Kidess Papers
No full textThe Attallah A. Kidess Papers contain newspaper articles, news releases, correspondence, postcards, notes, magazines, printed materials, photographs, audio tape, records, DVDs, and manuscripts both published and unpublished. Materials within the collection were created by Kidess and/or are materials about him that were collected by others.
Within the materials are many biographical documents that speak of his life both before and after he came to Springfield College. These include resumes and documents written by staff at Springfield College. Of particular importance are notes from an interview and a newspaper article created in December 1962 for the Springfield Sunday Republican newspaper. The newspaper contains many photographs from his life. There are many newspaper articles and College new releases that describe events in Kidess’s career and life and/or International students and events on campus from 1940 mostly through the early ‘70s. Many contain photographs and biographical information on International students and visitors.
The photographs in the collection include portrait photographs of Kidess, photographs of Kidess with International students and visitors, photographs of International events, such as barbeques and dinners, and some photographs of his retirement party in 1978. There is a large panoramic group photograph of all the attendees at the Y’s Men convention held in St. Paul Minnesota in August, 1934. Finally, there are a few photographs from his time in Palestine and Jerusalem. Some of these are of sports teams and exercising at the Jerusalem YMCA.
There are a number of unpublished manuscripts written by Kidess within the collection. These include two copies of his doctoral dissertation on James Huff McCurdy titled, “A study of the work and contributions of Dr. James Huff McCurdy to physical education.” They appear to be drafts with notations and changes. The final copy is within the library's Rare Book collection. There are also texts of speeches delivered by Kidess, including the text from the speech he delivered at the dedication of the International Center in 1972. Of particular importance is a document that Kidess wrote on the Palestinian /Jewish situation called “I Remember.” Finally, there are a number of manuscripts that Kidess may have written for graduate level classes in pursuit of his PhD in 1953.
Other materials of note include: a folder on Springfield College faculty issues involving the forced retirement of Dr. Egon Bergel and Dr. Frank Warren; tennis clinic materials from the early 1950s including photographs of tennis stars Alice Mable, Don Bridge, Vincent Richards; audio recording of an interview of Kidess on “News, Views, and Opinions on Springfield College” by the Springfield College Radio station, WSRB, in the early 1970’s; an audio recording of Kidess speaking on Peter V. Karpovich, most likely at his memorial in 1975; and an audio recording of Kidess receiving his Doctorate in 1958. There is also a scrapbook with photographs and descriptions of the May 13, 1950 Springfield College varsity tennis match against New York University at Yankee Stadium. The scrapbook was created by Walt Ryan, the manager, and is titled “Varsity Tennis – SC and NYU at Yankee Stadium May 13, 1950: Every Picture Tells a Story.” In addition there is a report on Alumni Hall from 1948-1954, written by him.For biography of Attallah A.
