The purpose of this study was to trace, record, and document the life and contributions of Hartley D. Price from his early life in Australia to his retirement from Florida State University in 1971. Traditional methods of historical research were employed to locate and investigate primary and secondary sources. The collection of the data was obtained by the utilization of official records, personal records, newspaper accounts, relics, personal interviews, written interviews, pictorial records, published material, and biographical sketches. A questionnaire was sent to subjects selected from names found in the files of Dr. Price at Florida State University and at the home of Mrs. Hartley Price in Tallahassee, Florida. His forty-four year professional life was reported chronologically, and was subdivided into five sections. The introductory chapter included the early days of Hartley Price in Australia, his coming to the United States, and his undergraduate work at Springfield College. Chapter two included his graduate work at the University of Illinois and his early teaching and coaching experience. Chapter three dealt with Price's Navy years, his graduate work at New York University and return to the University of Illinois. Chapter four included his move to Florida State University, Fulbright Professorships and Postdoctoral Fellowship. The final chapter served as a compendium of the impact of Dr. Price upon the physical education profession and the world of gymnastics and the recognition of Dr. Price as a coach, teacher, and author. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-06, Section: A, page: 2535. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
