Finding aid: MS 530 Leslie J. Judd Papers
No full textMaterials in this collection include correspondence, newspaper articles, news releases, notes, manuscripts, syllabi, course materials, reports, speeches, audio tapes, plaques, photographs, slides, and miscellaneous materials that have to do with the life and work of Leslie J. Judd. Most of the materials date from the 1940s through his death in 1987.
Within the collection are a lot of materials with historical or biographical information. This includes resumes and documents written by the college for use in various publications. In addition, there are various notes taken for his obituary (many of the notes come from “The Life and Work of Leslie Judd” a thesis by Walter F. Ersing). Much of this information is used in the eulogy that Chares F. Weckwerth gives at Judd’s memorial service in 1987 (an audio tape of this service is also present). Other biographical information includes some letters and writings with stories from his long career as a head coach for the Springfield College Men’s Gymnastics team. Some of this is used in a document read at a 1969 dinner held in his honor titled “This is your Life.” With biographical information about Leslie Judd, there is some information about his wife, Muriel Norman Judd.
Along with the biographical information, there are writings and class materials written and created by Leslie Judd. This includes writings on dance (including handwritten directions on specific dances), wand drills, comedy gymnastics routines, gymnastics stunts, Tableaux, and exhibition stunts. Some of the titles include “Comedy Gymnastics”, “Methods and Techniques of Rhythms and Dance”, “A Ceremonial Indian Hoop Dance (Choreography), and “Living Statuary Tableaux”. An interesting document is sheet music for the Tableaux’s and other gymnastics performances. This is in a ring binder. Many of these documents were created for various classes taught at Springfield College.
Finally, other materials include Judd’s original student file containing his application for Admissions to Springfield College and transcripts from 1915. One interesting letter in this folder is a letter about his work in World War I where he acted as Physical Director for Australian forces. There are other letters as well, including some from Dr. Doggett. These include the letter to Judd about coming to Springfield college in 1915, some from a trip Doggett took in 1926 to his family, and a memo to Judd saying how wonderful he thought the Tableaux’s were – perhaps the first ever shown in the Home Show. Photographs in the collection are mostly portrait photographs, though there are a few group photographs from events as well.For biography of Leslie J.

No full textThis is a recording of the Leslie J. Judd, a long-time Springfield College faculty member and Gymnastics coach, Memorial Service that took place on April 5, 1987. The service was recorded on two sides of a cassette tape. It starts with organ music, song and prayer. This is followed up by the memorial eulogy by Charles F. Weckwerth and remembrances given by alum, students, friends, family, and faculty members.For biography of Leslie J. Judd, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/8
Tableaux: Wheel
No full textThis black-and-white photograph shows three Springfield College students performing Tableaux. Two of them are bracing a large wooden wheel, on top of which a third student is doing a handstand.The Tableaux as used in gymnastics performances was created by Springfield College alumnus Leslie J. Judd (class of 1920), who went on to become a famous gymnastics coach at his alma mater (1921-1956). Tableaux, essentially, means living picture, and it is performed by costumed actors who remain silent and motionless. Tableaux have been used throughout theatrical history, but Judd transformed the idea. Coach Judd and Coach Frank Wolcott, his successor, created Tableaux that expressed ideals and commemorated moments in history. Tableaux are still performed by Springfield College gymnasts

Solving the Multi-Country Real Business Cycle Model Using Ergodic Set Methods
No full textWe use the stochastic simulation algorithm, described in Judd, Maliar and Maliar (2009), and the cluster-grid algorithm, developed in Judd, Maliar and Maliar (2010a), to solve a collection of multi-country real business cycle models. The following ingredients help us reduce the cost in high-dimensional problems: an endogenous grid enclosing the ergodic set, linear approximation methods, fixed-point iteration and efficient integration methods, such as non-product monomial rules and Monte Carlo integration combined with regression. We show that high accuracy in intratemporal choice is crucial for the overall accuracy of solutions and offer two approaches, precomputation and iteration-on-allocation, that can solve for intratemporal choice both accurately and quickly. We also implement a hybrid solution algorithm that combines the perturbation and accurate intratemporal-choice methods.
Comparison Between Standard and Modified Judd-Ofelt Theories in a Pr-Doped Fluoride Glass
No full textA method which takes into account normalized oscillator strengths is detailed for the calculation of parameters in Judd-Ofelt theory (B.R. Judd, Phys. Rev. 127, 750 (1962), G.S. Ofelt, J. Chem. Phys. 37, 511 (1962)). In the case of a Pr -doped fluorozirconate glass, the Judd-Ofelt parameters obtained in this way do not depend strongly on the transitions included in the fit. Particularly, it is no longer necessary to exclude the H → P transition from the analysis. Three modified theories (F. Auzel, S. Hubert, P. Delamoye, J. Lumin. 26, 251 (1982), A.A. Kornienko, A.A. Kaminskii, E.B. Dunina, Phys. Status Solidi B 157, 267 (1990)) are also considered but do not improve the calculated intensities when the energy of the 5d level is set to its experimentally determined value. Finally, in connection with 1.3 μ amplification, the 1.3 μ reabsorption (G → D) oscillator strength is computed from the various models as well as the 1.3 μ emission branching ratio (G → H/G → H). The best agreement with experiment is obtained with the standard Judd-Ofelt theory
