Scope and Content Note

The collection documents the Boston-Bouvé College's founding, physical education and physical therapy curriculum, student activities and traditions, and existence as an independent, affiliated, and merged institution. The collection contains a wide array of print and non-print material that provides information about the administrative and financial activities of the school, student organizations, athletics, and course content. The records provide information about the school itself, and the historical context of the developing fields of physical therapy and physical education, fields in which women were pioneers.

The collection contains a small amount of material about the Boston-Bouvé College's history created after the merger in 1980 and material that documents Boston-Bouvé College alumnae and faculty after 1977. The collection also includes records detailing the agreement made between Bouvé-Boston School of Physical Education and Posse after the later closed and some Posse photographs and memorabilia.
