Women's physical education at WSU began in 1901-02. Nine years later folk dancing
was introduced into the program. Since that time dance has become an increasingly
significant part of the women's physical education curriculum.
For further history, see "The History of the Development of the Women's Physical
Education Major Program of the State College of Washington, From its Inception in
1919, to 1929," by Maxine Hazel Smith, Pullman, 1951 (Unpublished M.A. thesis).
