A HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN INTERCOLLEGIATE GYMNASTIC LEAGUE FROM ITS BEGINNING IN 1949 TO ITS DEMISE IN 1977Unknown Date (has links)
This investigation was undertaken to document the origin, development, and demise of the Southern Intercollegiate Gymnastic League. From 1949 through 1977, the League was the initial, prime, and most often sole, developmental and organizational body for all southeastern intercollegiate gymnastics. / The account was sub-divided into five chapters. The birth of the dream of three men and the difficult struggle to keep that dream alive was discussed in the first chapter. The second chapter dealt with the rapid growth of collegiate gymnastics in the southeastern United States and the direct effect of the Southern Intercollegiate Gymnastic League upon that growth. Chapter three concerned itself with the League's coming of age and its reaching out for recognition at the national level. The fourth chapter saw the original dream fulfilled with full recognition at the national level and documented the rich success of southeastern intercollegiate gymnastics. The final chapter discussed the implications and events leading to the death of the Southern Intercollegiate Gymnastic League. / Original competitive statistical records were critically compared with original newspaper accounts, questionnaires mailed to, and interviews conducted with, competitors, judges, and coaches of the League. Original business meeting minutes were compared with interview accounts and examined for accuracy. Personal letters and other official documents pertaining to League affairs were verified for authenticity through interview and other personal communication. In so far as possible, a complete factual account of athletic performance was developed from League championship competitive records and other collected data including location of competition, League administrative officers, elected coach of the year, order of team finish, and the results of individual performance by event. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-03, Section: A, page: 1167. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.

THE GYMNOSOPHIST LEGACY IN INDIA, 326 B.C.--1604 A.D. (GREECE)Unknown Date (has links)
Greek and Indian traditions of the male nude met at Taxila in 326 B.C. when Alexander the Great met the Gymnosophists. Source analysis of 31 classical authors reveals that the reliable parts of the Gymnosophist story came from four companions of Alexander. Absences explain their contradictions. Later additions lacked truth. / Though Gymnosophists have often been called Jains, the only productive clue as to their identity is that Pyrrho of Elis taught the doctrine of Sanjaya, a contemporary of Mahavira and the Buddha. It is not clear whether the Gymnosophists were the last followers of Sanjaya, about to be outrivaled by the Jains, or whether they were a transitional group merging into Jainism. / Alexander's army introduced nude athletics to India. Though never popular, Greek sports persisted there more than five centuries later. Greek and Indian thinkers offered similar reasons for athletic or ascetic nudity: efficiency, healthy, independent thought, and purity or honesty--with less agreement on beauty and wholeness. / Certain Mauryan and early Shungan monumental nude sculptures follow Greek proportional theory (measurements provided), and perhaps quadrifacial carving methods--both obtainable through brief verbal contact. Other Mauryan-Shungan nudes exhibit Greek muscle treatment of chest, abdomen, and perhaps the back--all available in visual examples on Bactrian coins. / This Greek sculptural influence predated but did not noticeably affect Gandharan art, which differed from it by a Hellensitic/Roman rather than Classical inspiration, an emphasis on Cupid rather than Herakles, a sharp drop of interest in the nude, and some Buddhist propaganda against naked ascetics. / Except for chest muscle treatment, Greek sculptural influence died out until Jains in Karnataka revived the Mauryan style--and coincidentally its Greek elements--for Gommateshvara statues from the ninth century to 1604. Evidence suggests that sculptors used a damaged Mauryan example at Shravana Belgola--which lends credence to the legend that Chandragupta Maurya retired there. / Gymnosophist influence on the West remains to be studied. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-07, Section: A, page: 1862. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.
