Harold M. Barrow, Fellow # 216, died on May 15, 2005. Harold was 95 years of age at the time of his death.

Harold was born August 8, 1909, in New Bloomfield, Missouri. While growing up on a farm during the Great Depression, Harold attended New Bloomfield (Missouri) High School before receiving an A.B. degree from Westminster College in 1936, where he starred in basketball and track. In 1942 he earned an M.A. from the University of Missouri and then obtained a P.E.D. from Indiana University in 1953.

Harold M. Barrow began his 47-year service in education teaching in a one-room schoolhouse from 1930 to 1934. He later worked as a high school coach and director of physical education in Fulton, Missouri, from 1936 to 1943 before serving a two-year stint in the Navy. He then spent three years as the head football and basketball coach, as well as Director of Athletics and Physical Education, at Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois. Harold spent the majority of his esteemed career at Wake Forest University, where he served as a professor of physical education from 1948 to 1977, as well as chairman of the Physical Education Department from 1957 to 1975. He received many awards during his distinguished career. Among these were the Medallion of Merit from Wake Forest University, the Kingdom of Callaway Award in 1958, Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award from Westminster College in 1975, Distinguished Alumni Award from Indiana University in 1988, and the Hetherington Award from the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education in 1995. He served a president of the American Academy of Physical Education in 1979.

Harold wrote a number of highly regarded and widely used articles and books on health and physical education including Man and Movement: Principles of Physical Education, which was published in three editions from 1971 to 1982, and A Practical Approach to Measurement in Physical Education, which he co-authored with Dr. Rosemary McGee from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Harold and his five brothers were a dominant, nearly unbeatable independent basketball team in the 1930s and early 1940s, in an era before professional basketball was established and the elite college players played on independent teams. Harold was the brothers’ star forward and leading scorer. The Barrow brothers were the first team of brothers to be inducted into Missouri’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. A man of many talents, Harold was musical, artistic and poetic. He learned to play the organ without ever taking a lesson.

Prepared by John Shea, Fellow # 403, who would like to express appreciation to Harold M. Barrow’s wife, Mrs. Kate D. Barrow, who provided information and the photo for this memorial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.236.30.4 (talk) 11:21, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
