The Springfield Student (vol. 137, no. 14) January 26, 2023
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.

Title IX Across the Profession (March 23, 2023)
No full textThis is the video of the Title IX Across the Profession panel that took place in the East Gymnasium of Judd Gymnasia on the campus of Springfield College on March 23, 2023. It was part of Kathy Mangano's 2022-23 Distinguished Professor of Humanics project to educate and advocate for Title IX. Created and facilitated by Kathy Mangano and Erin Leeper, the panel was moderated by Aimee Crawford, professor at Springfield College. The panelists included: Linda Cruse Moffat ’73, Former Vice President for Northeast Region Sales, Vice President for Target Marketing, Vice President for Sales Development, and Account Executive at Turner Broadcasting Systems, Inc.; Elizabeth Ruggiero ’93, Senior Cybersecurity Engineer for Sealed Aid in Charlotte, N.C.; Carla Lide-Buglione, G’11, Senior Manager and Player Engagement for the National Football League; and Megan Baildon ’17, Software Engineer for Farm Credit Financial Partners in Springfield, Mass. The video is around an hour and 20 minutes long.Humanics is a word that has a special meaning in the history and philosophy of Springfield College, as well as in the college’s motto of “Spirit, Mind, and Body.” The Oxford English Dictionary defines Humanics as, “the subject or study of human affairs or relations, especially of the human element of a problem or situation as opposed to the mechanical.” In 1962, Dr. Glenn Olds, President of Springfield College at the time, began to wonder why this name was given to the intended philosophy of the college by Dr. Laurence Locke Doggett, Springfield College’s first full-time president. Olds acknowledged that the practices of the faculty were in large part consistent with the Humanics philosophy, but he believed that a more self-conscious application would improve chances of its continuity and survival. To ensure this, a Distinguished Professor of Humanics position was created at the college, first filled by Dr. Seth Arsenian from 1966-1969. The purpose of this position was to catalyze a renewal of consciousness in the philosophy. This was done by annually mandating the Distinguished Professor of Humanics to give a Humanics lecture on the definition of Humanics and what the concept means to them. Arsenian started this tradition in 1967 with his speech titled, “The Meaning of Humanics,” in which he described the concept as a set of ideas, values, and goals that make our college distinct from other colleges and make commitment and unity toward commonly sought goals possible

Finding aid: RG 181 - Springfield College Women's Athletic Association Records
No full textThe Women’s Athletics Association Records collection includes constitutions, memorandums, handbooks, handwritten notes, manager reports, meeting minutes, and other miscellaneous documents that details the Women’s Athletics Association (WAA), later known as the Women’s Recreation Association (WRA), activities from 1952 to 1977. The organization primarily focused on managing club and intramural sports available to women through various events, games, and tournaments.
The materials concerning managerial reports for sports, such as archery, badminton, basketball, field hockey, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and volleyball, were issued from 1954 to 1968. These reports include schedules for games, lists of the types of tournaments, and the points scored and rules. Also included for most years are lists of the names of participants as a part of the four official teams: Green Knights, Golden Hearts, Red Dragons, and Blue Falcons. The materials concerning meeting minutes were recorded from 1953 to 1973, with executive board meeting notes being mostly typed, though some are handwritten. Within the WRA Chairman and the WRA Secretary folders is a Board of Representative Handbook for 1966-1967 and 1966-1968, respectively.
These materials show how the WAA/WRA invested time in continuing the interest in women’s sports on campus through events. One event included in this collection is the “WRA Banquets,” held by the Women’s Recreation Association from 1969-1977. These banquets recognized the various intramurals and “All-Star” teams with trophies and presentations of the Massasoit Award. There is also a list of recipients for the Massasoit Award from 1953 to 1974. Related material includes flyers, official invitations, programs, and others. In addition, there is a folder from Dorothy Brown containing materials produced between 1970-1973. Within the folder, the material is divided into five sections by tab dividers: “Current,” “Minutes,” a blank tab, “Constitution,” and “N.E.A.R.F.C.W” (Northeast Athletic & Recreation Federation of College Women). Outside of these sections, in the beginning, is documents, including a fall term schedule for intramural games, a flyer, handwritten notes, revised meeting minutes, and the WRA constitution.
There is also scrapbook that contains newsclippings and photographs of activities thought to be between 1953 and 1956, including articles on Paula Deubel and materials on the Athletic Federation of College Women conference held in 1954.For information on the Women's Athletic/Recreation Association see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/corporate_entities/16
