Classroom of the International YMCA Training School, 1906
Description:
This photograph shows a class room of the International YMCA Training School, now Springfield College. There can be seen 14 men seated while a professor lectures surrounded by bottles of most, presumably, chemical components, in what appears to be a Chemistry lab. The photograph is believed to be dated between 1904 and 1906, as J. T. Sellers, A. A. Mason, and L. E. Day, members of the Class of 1906, are identified in the image.
