Luther Gulick Jr. was born on December 4, 1865 in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. His father was missionary physician Luther Halsey Gulick Sr. (1828-1891) and his mother was Louisa Lewis. His paternal grandfather Peter Johnson Gulick (1796-1877) was an even earlier missionary.
Luther Gulick Jr. studied at Oberlin Academy (a preparatory department of Oberlin College) 1880-1882 and 1883-1886 and at the Sargent Normal School for physical training (now the Boston University college of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences). He graduated from the medical school of New York University in 1889.
Luther Gulick Jr. was founding superintendent of the physical education department of the International YMCA Training School, now Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts, from 1887-1900. He designed a triangle logo - Spirit, Mind, & Body - representing the YMCA philosophy. This evolved into the block letter "Y" used in the modern YMCA logo, as well as the Springfield College seal.
Luther Gulick Jr. persuaded a young instructor named James Naismith, a teacher at the school, to create an indoor game that could be played during the off-season. In response, Naismith invented and popularized basketball. He worked with Naismith to spread the sport, chairing the Basketball Committee of the Amateur Athletic Union (1895-1905) and representing the United States Olympic Committee during the 1908 Olympic Games. For his efforts to increase the popularity of basketball and of physical fitness in general, Luther Gulick Jr. was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor in 1959.
He was principal of the Pratt Institute High School from 1900 to 1903. From 1903 to 1908, he headed physical training in the public schools of New York City, and from 1908 to 1913 directed the department of child hygiene at the Russell Sage Foundation. He served as president of the American Physical Education Association in 1903-1906, of the Public School Physical Training Society in 1905-1908, and of the Camp Fire Girls after 1913.
Luther Gulick Jr. gave talks at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair to promote his ideas for physical training in schools. In 1907, Gulick was the president of the Playground Association of America, which later became the National Recreation Association and then the National Recreation and Park Association.
Luther Gulick Jr. died August 13, 1918 at his camp in Casco, Maine.
With his wife, Luther Gulick Jr. founded the Camp Fire Girls to prepare women for work outside the home. In 1975, its name changed to Camp Fire USA as it accepted boys and girls and in 2012 it was renamed Camp Fire. The Gulicks helped create and expand the Boy Scout movement, as both the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts movements helped to promote physical fitness and expand exercise opportunities for youth.
He also founded Camp Timanous, a boys' summer camp and Camp Wohelo, a girl's summer camp, located near Raymond, Maine.
Luther Gulick Jr., together with his wife Charlotte, are honored with a bronze medallion on the Extra Mile National Monument.
