From a letter written in September 1970 by Lolas E. Halverson, Professor and Chairman, Department of Physical Education for Women, University of Wisconsin-Madison 1963–1971.
Margaret H’Doubler is not only a teacher of dance as an art but was years ahead in her approach to movement as education. Her sound philosophy; her concern for the scientific background for movement teaching; her constant plea for depth in place of superficiality in movement skill and expression have only now been realized in many circles outside dance. Movement education as a term was a meaningful part of Margaret H’Doubler’s work years before the general field of physical education began to take note of these concepts as applied to all areas of movement experience.
It has been my privilege to be enrolled in classes under Margaret H’Doubler and to work with her as a staff member at the University of Wisconsin. She is an outstanding leader not only in physical education but in all areas of higher education. She is loved and respected by all who know her, from the elevator operator in Lathrop Hall to the Deans under whom she has served.”
