Description: This booklet commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Kansas City Socialer Turnverein Club. Such clubs adhered to the philosophy of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, considered the father of German gymnastics, that physical education was necessary for full personal development. Turnverein clubs in America were often founded by refugees from Germany's failed liberal revolution in the mid-19th century.
