Honor Addresses
Honor Addresses
The tradition of the North American Society for Sport History to have
Honor Addresses was begun in 1973 when the first convention was held at
Ohio State University. It was decided to have special lectures to honor individuals who have been significant in the development of sport history. The
three chosen in 1973 to be so honored and have addresses named after them
were John R. Betts, Maxwell L. Howell, and Seward C. Staley. In 1994, the
Maxwell L. Howell Address was expanded to, Maxwell and Reet Howell
International Address.
John R. Betts (1917-1971) was a professor of history at Boston College
with an emphasis upon cultural and intellectual history when he died in the
summer of 1971. He was the leading historian of the cultural and social
impact of sport in the United States at that time. Among other published articles in sport history are his “The Technological Revolution and the Rise of
Sport” (1953), “Agricultural Fairs and the Rise of Harness Racing” (1953),
and “Mind and Body in Early American Thought” (1968). His manuscript
on the cultural history of sport in America was nearing completion when he
died. It was published posthumously as America’s Sporting Heritage, 18501950. John Betts devoted attention to sport history because the subject stimulated an intellectual curiosity in him. and the study of sport history has benefited greatly by his reputable research in the area.
Maxwell L. Howell and Reet Howell International Address honors Max
Howell, who was born in Australia, and Reet Howell, who was born in Estonia. Max Howell has participated and coached in international sport, and has
done graduate study in education psychology, exercise physiology, and sport
history. He retired in 1992 from the University of Queensland, where he held
the first chair in Human Movement Studies in Australia. Prior to his return to
Australia, he was Director of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa.
Previously he was Dean of the College of Professional Studies at San Diego
State University following positions at the University of British Columbia
and later at the University of Alberta. At Alberta, he began the graduate program in sport history from which a number of scholars in sport history have
graduated. His ability to stimulate graduate students to do continuing
research in the area of sport history has influenced programs in Canada, Aus21
Honor Addresses
tralia, the United States, and elsewhere. He has published many articles and
books including Sports and Games in Canadian Life, 1700 to the Present,
History of Sport in Canada, and Aussie Gold: The Story of Australia at the
Olympics. Max and Reet Howell collaborated on numerous books and articles since the 1970s. Both were prominent in the international scene until
Reet succumbed to cancer in 1993. Max was chosen NASSH president-elect
in 1975 and served as president and past-president. An international travel
fund was established in their names in 1994.
Seward C. Staley (1893-1991) had a lifetime involvement in sport and for
two generations promoted the study of sport and sport history. Spending most
of his professional career at the University of Illinois, as early as 1935 he
advocated a curriculum of sport as the basis of physical education programs.
He authored numerous articles from the 1920s. It was through his efforts that
in 1960 the History of Sport Section of the College Physical Education Association was developed. This is of signal importance for it was out of this History of Sport Section that the stimulus for the development of the North
American Society for Sport History was started. Until his death in 1991, he
worked diligently on an immense bibliographical project in classifying sport
literature. Seward Staley truly invigorated the study of sport and sport history.
