Historical Note
John V. Bovard was faculty in the University of Oregon Biology department starting in 1906. He later became head of Zoology. He was the first dean of UO's Physical Education program in 1920, the first such program established in the country. He left UO in 1937 to finish his career at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research confronted problems related to human fatigue. Though the department and program was originally called "Physical Education," research and coursework was more akin to what we might now call Human Physiology. In addition to his academic pursuits, Bovard was involved in both the Mazamas and the Obsidians, outdoors enthusiasts clubs in Oregon.
