YMCA International Committee of the Associations
Notes:
The YMCA movement spread rapidly across England, Ireland and Scotland and in 1851 reached North America. Sir George Williams maintained a lifelong affiliation with the association and in 1894, the fiftieth anniversary of the YMCA, was knighted by Queen Victoria. On November 6, 1905, Sir George Williams died and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral where there is a memorial crypt commemorating his service. Williams was also memorialized with a stained-glass window in Westminster Abbey.
This lantern slide is part of a series of eight slides that appear to be on YMCA history, mostly concerning George Williams. The series includes LS-06-01, LS-06-02, LS-06-03, LS-06-04, LS-06-05, LS-06-06, LS-06-07, and LS-06-08. Most of the series was created by Jonathan A. Rawson Jr. (347 Madison Ave., New York City), except LS-06-05 which was created by Scott Studios, (Scott Studios, 24 E. 55th St., New York City). Several of these images were reprinted in the October, 1921 issue of Association Men (Student Edition).
