Abstract
| This study is concerned with the life and contributions of Hans C. Reuter to the field of physical education at Wisconsin State University, La Crosse and in the State of Wisconsin. Through his heritage and education at the Normal College of the American Gymnastics Union, he typifies the kind of influence which the German Turners exerted on the physical education programs in this country. Hans Reuter carried the Turner philosophy to La Crosse in 1920, where it was inculcated in the teacher training program. La Crosse was the only teacher's college in the State of Wisconsin designated for the specific purpose of training physical education teachers between the years 1912-1958. Mr. Reuter was instrumental in curriculum development and teacher training at La Crosse during the formative years and continuing through the adoption of the Master Degree program. The entire aim, purpose and object of his life has been the role of a master teacher, and through the teachers he trained, his impact was felt throughout the State of Wisconsin. His influence was also felt through his publications, lectures, demonstrations, inventions and professional leadership. Hans C. Reuter, Professor Emeritus, retired in 1956 after spending sixty-six years of his life as a physical educator. |
