Research a brief biography of William G. Morgan

-William G. Morgan was born in 1870 in Lockport, NY. He gained his degree at Springfield
College in Massachusetts in 1892. There he met James Naismith the inventor of the sport
basketball in 1891. Like Naismith, after graduation Morgan pursued a career in physical
education at the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association). It was in Holyoke, Massachusetts
in 1895 that Morgan invented a sport he named Mintonette, a less vigorous activity for
participants that still required significant athletic skill. While watching Morgan demonstrates the
game to his students, Dr. Alfred S. Halstead suggested the sport be renamed volleyball as the
object of the game was to volley the ball back and forth over the net.
Morgan left the Holyoke YMCA in 1897 to pursue a career with General Electric and
Westinghouse. He continued a strong tie with Springfield College and the game he created
throughout the rest of his life stating that he was “content in the knowledge that the game
brought a richer life to millions of people throughout the world”. Sadly William Morgan passed
away in 1942. He was inducted into the Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1978 and
the Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1985.
