  <mods:abstract>This the finding aid for MS 526 - Springfield Massachusetts Y’s Men’s Club papers collection. The Springfield Massachusetts Y’s Men’s Club papers contain information that was gathered or created by the Springfield Massachusetts Y’s Men’s Club. Most of this material was originally placed within a scrapbook. Included in this material are some photographs of a meeting that took place in 1947, the club’s constitution that contain the rules that governed the club, and some promotional documentation that was written around the end of World War II titled “There are going to be some changes Made!” Also included are some pamphlets from a variety of international weekends and dinners, including one held at Springfield College on March 31, 1965, a couple of international student lists from Springfield College, and a bunch of loose correspondence from individuals from multiple countries, including China, Japan, Egypt, and India. In addition to these, there are multiple letters from the international Secretary-treasurer of the Y’s Men’s club, Henry Grimes, and Earle R. Buckley, a YMCA secretary in the Far East. Some fun pieces include some place mats created by the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions on different regions and countries, some pages of the Springfield Sunday Republican Nov. 14, 1954 Rotogravure section containing photographs and text on the United Nations Festival put on by the Springfield College Cosmopolitan Club, and the World’s Alliance of Young Men’s Christian Associations 1950 Map, showing the 77 countries affiliated with the YMCA and where the 9,600 local associations exist in those countries. The majority of documents in the collection are contained in the Springfield Mass. Y’s Men’s Club Scrapbook (ca. 1937 to 1951). The scrapbook opens with a title page that says that the scrapbook is a “permanent record of the World Outlook Activities of the Springfield Mass. Y’s Men’s Club.” Inside are lists of members, newspaper articles about events, pamphlets and advertisements, photographs of members and activities, newsletters, and correspondence, including letters from China, Japan, Norway, Egypt, as well as other countries. Of particular import to Springfield College is the letter written by Fred Hoshiyama about his experiences in the Japanese “Concentration Camps” in the United States during World War II.
