Biographical note
|
|
Germaine Guiot (1893-1978) was
born in New York City and received a three-year certificate
(1914) from the Sargent School of Education (Boston College), a
B.S. (1925) and M.S. (1934) from the University of Michigan, and
a PhD (1940) from New York University. She was Head of the Lab
School Department at Western Michigan (1914-1926); Head of the
Physical Education for Women Department at the University of
Southern California (1926-1938); and Head of the Iowa State
University's Women's Physical Education Department (1940-1958).
She held several regional and
national offices in physical education and recreation
organizations, was a fellow in the American Association of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and received an ISU
Faculty Citation in 1962.
Dr. Guiot was an active
worker in the Girl Scout movement and the West Story County Red
Cross. She instituted the Girl Scout Program at Kalamazoo
during her work there. She was also the first director of land
sports at Gulich Camps in Maine, and was director of the entire
sporting program at Camp Bryn Afon in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.
"She said her first interest
in sports came during her junior high school years. Dr. Guiot
used to stand and watch men play tennis on the courts near her
home, and after dusk came, they used to allow her to hit a few
balls on the court. She says she has always liked sports and
from that time she first played tennis, she wanted to develop a
profession in physical education." Iowa State Daily,
1957 |
