Lloyd W. Olds was an alumni, faculty member, and athletic coach at Eastern Michigan University. Dr. Olds joined the EMU faculty in 1921 and worked in the Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, of which he served as the department chair from 1956 to 1963. Olds was also a track and field coach at EMU and served as an associate coach of the US Olympics track and field team in 1932. Notably, Olds established the first collegiate intramural athletics department in 1921, which subsequently served as a model program to other colleges. The Lloyd W. Olds papers include articles and books, photographs and travel slides, clippings, and materials related to his retirement and memorial. There is very little material in the collection related to coaching track and field, the creation of the intramural program, his role as department head, and teaching, with the exception of course materials for the Organization and Administration of Physical Education. Materials in the collection date from 1932-1983.
