ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In writing a document of this nature, it is diffi cult If not impossible to rely upon one's own resources. There, have been many who have generously cooperated in pre paring the manuscript in all stages of its pre-publication life. The author wishes to express a deep feeling of in debtedness to Dr. Alonzo P. Myers and Professor Martha Hill of the sponsoring committee for their suggestions iand guid ance. Grateful acknowledgment is also made to the many authors whose publications are quoted.
It was especially a
privilege to have received permission to cite statements from the text on "College Facilities for Physical Education, Health and Recreation" of the College Physical Education Association and the publication "A Guide for Planning Facili ties for Athletics, Recreation, Physical and Health Education® by the Athletic Institute. It is a pleasure also to mention Monsignor Frederick G. Hochwalt, Secretary of the National Catholic Education Association and Monsignor Edward Dillon, College Department of the National Catholic Education Association, whose belief in the need for this study led them to endorse and sign the ii
questionnaires sent to the institutions. In addition, the author is obliged to the group of fifteen experts who served willingly to evaluate a detailed list of standards. A word of thanks is due to the physical education directors and college administrators who gave generously of their time to respond to a lengthy inquiry form.
It is by
such cooperation that advancement in health, physical educa tion and recreation can more substantially be made. In particular, the author will always attribute a large part of whatever success she may have attained in pre senting this material to Dr* Leonard A. Larson, Chairman of the Sponsoring Committee.
His assistance and encouragement
from its inception to the final stages of the study have been especially appreciated. The author is especially grateful to Professor Eleanor D. Kilcoyne for having carefully read and edited the manu script. If by any measure this research document can be con sidered worthwhile, it has been due largely to the many pro fessional friends who have knowingly or unknowingly made contributions• Irma Schalk
