MAXWELL L. HOWELL AND REET HOWELL INTERNATIONAL ADDRESS honors Max Howell, who was born in Australia, and Reet Howell, who was born in Estonia. Max Howell has participated and coached in international sport, and has done graduate study in education psychology, exercise physiology, and sport history. He retired in 1992 from the University of Queensland, where he held the first chair in Human Movement Studies in Australia. Prior to his return to Australia, he was Director of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. Previously he was Dean of the College of Professional Studies at San Diego State University following positions at the University of British Columbia and later at the University of Alberta. At Alberta, he began the graduate program in sport history from which a number of scholars in sport history have graduated. His ability to stimulate graduate students to do continuing research in the area of sport history has influenced programs in Canada, Australia, the United States, and elsewhere. He has published many articles and books including Sports and Games in Canadian Life, 1700 to the Present, History of sport in Canada, and Aussie Gold: The Story of Australia at the Olympics. Max and Reet Howell collaborated on numerous books and articles since the 1970s. Both were prominent in the international scene until Reet succumbed to cancer in 1993. Max was chosen NASSH president-elect in 1975 and served as president and past-president. An international travel fund was established in their names in 1994.
