| A 1909 graduate of Michigan State Normal College (also BA, 1925), Adeline E. Hicks established the physical education program for women at the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1917. Made a member of the faculty in 1921, and Physical Director for Women in 1927, Hicks was one of the earliest exponents of modern dance as part of the physical education curriculum. Under her direction, the old Drill Hall was renovated into a women's gymnasium in 1931, and she oversaw the opening of a new athletic field for women in 1936. After twenty years of distinguished service, Hicks resigned from MSC in 1937, receiving a citation from the Board of Trustees for her efforts. In 1949 she retired to Arizona with her husband, [[h:hicks_curry_s|Curry S. Hicks]], who was head of the department of physical education of the College from 1911 until 1949. | A 1909 graduate of Michigan State Normal College (also BA, 1925), Adeline E.
