Finding Aid RG 159: Springfield College Fencing Team Records

Abstract

This is the Finding Aid is for RG 159 - Springfield College Fencing Team Records collection. Materials in this collection contains mostly photographs from the time that Fencing was a varsity sport at Springfield College between 1906 and 1937. Most of these photographs are team or group photographs. In addition there are a few photographs of fencing on the campus, either from events, club or class activities, from after it stopped being a varsity sport (ca. 1970-1990). The only print documents are a proposed schedule of expenses for the 1916-17 season and a letter to Charles D. Todd, class of 1918 discussing fencing. These come from a donation that also included fencing bag and fencing team badge from the 1916-1917 season. Finally there is a fencing mask and two practice fencing foils. The fencing foils may not have been used by the Fencing Team, but may have been used by the Gymnastics Exhibition Team in their Tableauxs or general programs.To learn more about the Springfield College Fencing Team, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/corporate_entities/30
