- Title
The Battle Over Athletic Priorities in the Louisville Y.M.C.A. 1892-1912.
- Authors
Pitts, Brenda G.
- Abstract
This article reports on the history of athletics and Young Men's Christian Associations (Y.M.C.A.s) in the United States. As late as 1900, only one in three Y.M.C.A.s included athletics as part of their program. In the early days of Y.M.C.A.s, athletics was viewed as a distraction from the more serious emphasis of religious and welfare activities favored by many Board of Directors.
