| Description | Significant volume of typescript articles and draft writings by Arthur Newton, some carrying manuscript annotations and amendments. Subjects discussed include massage; diet; clothing and shoes; bathing; smoking; motivation; age and stamina; and blisters. A number of the articles were published and this is annotated on the typescript copy. They were sent to various publications including 'Scots Athlete', 'Athletic Review', 'The Heathen' and 'Watford Harriers Gazette'.
One article, on the 11th Indian Olympic Games, is written by John C. Jewell. A small number of articles are attributed to 'On the Shelf', the pseudonym of Arthur Newton.
These articles had been divided into separate folders [presumably by Arthur Newton] and these divisions have been retained. |
