Este estudo investigou os cursos de formação de diretores de Educação Física promovidos pela Associação Cristã de Moços (ACM), na década de 1920, em dois locais institucionais: o The Young Men’s Christian Association College, em Chicago, e o Instituto Técnico Sudamericano de la Asociación Cristiana de Jóvenes, em Montevidéu. Ao adotar elementos de análise das histórias conectadas, o objetivo foi analisar as trocas estabelecidas pela própria ACM em seus institutos localizados em diferentes lugares da América. Documentos institucionais constituíram-se como fontes privilegiadas na pesquisa e permitiram apreender um processo de circulação de saberes e práticas na Associação mediado por negociados exercícios de sistematização.

The Way

This Project, a textbook for college students of beginning Spanish, long talked about, has come a great distance since its inception in May 1956. I report in this paper its present status, and describe the pedagogical philosophy basic to its design. The Working Committee of six has profited all along the way from the valuable help and guidance of the parent Advisory Committee and from numerous special consultants.

This study applies upper echelons theory associated with executive dismissal and power to examine the relationships of performance and four types of executive power— structural, prestige, expert, and governance concentration—with dismissal. Using the context of National Collegiate Athletic Association college basketball, in which coaches are completely responsible for strategies and human capital acquisition and retention, a curvilinear relationship between performance and dismissal is found. Significant relationships for prestige and expert power with dismissal are also found, but the “honeymoon period” is longer than prior studies of executive and coach dismissal have shown. Surprisingly, concentrated governance is found to be negatively associated with the likelihood of dismissal.

The U.S

In February 1865, Congress passed the first ever federal antipornography law as a war measure intended to preserve the morality and secure the fighting strength of men serving in the U.S. Army. But the measure also marked the beginning of a postwar surge of legislation protecting morality and marriage and resurrecting a gender order that congressmen believed the war had upset. The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) and Anthony Comstock lobbied successfully for a follow up measure that became known as the Comstock Law (1873). This law extended the wartime concern for endangered manhood into a series of measures aimed at pornography and restricting women’s access to birth control and abortion. These latter laws remained in place for decades. The instinct to regulate American morality by controlling women’s sexual expression became one of the U.S. Civil War’s longest cultural legacies.

It is well known that 175,000 Chinese laborers worked for Allied troops in Europe during World War I. This phenomenon has been recorded in major WWI histories and has become the topic of monographs in Chinese and Western languages. Chinese laborers solved the Allied problem of a serious manpower shortage and made contributions to military fieldwork, construction, and factory work. Comparatively speaking, few scholars have paid attention to the Christian work among the Chinese laborers, which gave them considerable comfort and assistance and which laid the foundation for other service to Chinese laborers in France. Though some people have a general understanding that the Young Men's Christian Association (including the British YMCA and the International Committee of the YMCA in North America) was the most active and energetic group in offering assistance to the Chinese laborers, little has been written that explains the YMCA operations among the laborers, preventing a fair and thorough evaluation of the YMCA's service to the Chinese laborers. This paper, based on material from the American YMCA Archives, the Canadian Church Archives, and some Chinese writings on this topic, attempts to investigate the origin, operation, and development of this YMCA international project and to assess its significance in church history and in modern China.
