Hitchcock Field was developed in 1912-13 under the supervision of the Boston landscape architect Herbert J. Kellarway. In its first stage, it included six tennis courts and a ball field, for the use of the student body (as opposed to the athletic teams) and named as a memorial to the late Dr. Hitchcock, pioneer of physical education at Amherst (King, 136). |

Twelve years later, again under the supervision of Kellarway, the field was completed with the addition of two more ball fields and eighteen more tennis courts in 1923 (King, 169). |
