The purpose of this study was to determine whether implementation of the institutional mission of Brigham Young University relative to the inculcation of character building and spiritual values, in combination with the traditional moral and character building goals and claims of the physical education profession is being treated with adequate emphasis in the Department of Physical Education-Sports at B.Y.U. The following conclusions were reached: (1) The University and professional norm referents validated the contention that character education should be a focal point of emphasis in physical education. (2) Graduate output did not address religious or moral/ethical concepts. Neither did graduates express compunction to do so. (3) The graduate faculty gave more attention to the goal of academic excellence than character, spiritual or social development.
