Notes:
Henry S. Lee was the second president and the last part-time president of the International YMCA Training School, now known as Springfield College. He served from 1891 to 1893. Along with David Allen Reed, he originally founded the school in 1885 (originally called the School for Christian Workers). Lee served as treasurer of the Springfield Institute for Savings, and then as president from 1898 until his death. He was also a director for the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, in the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, in the Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and in the Chicopee National Bank. Lee died of a stroke on March 29, 1902. The back of the photograph reads, “Henry S. Lee. Died. March 21, /02. As noble a man as any I expect to know. Beloved by rich and poor, high and low, black and white, by Christian and non-Christian just alike."
