<mods:abstract>This photograph shows Amos Alonzo Stagg '91 on the camera's left, Dr. Frank Seerley '90 standing center, and William Henry Ball '91 on the camera's right. Stagg is wearing a Springfield College varsity S sweater, while the other two men are in suits. They are standing at the foot of Alumni Hall's. MacLean Terrace. This photograph may have been taken at an Alumni function at Springfield College, but the exact date and reason of the photograph is unknown. In 1890, the three played football together at the YMCA Training School, now Springfield College. For more information on Amos Alonzo Stagg, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/661 For more information on William Henry Ball, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/722 Dr. Frank N. Seerley (class of 1890) was an alumnus and faculty member of Springfield College, as well as the Head of the Department of Hygiene at the YMCA headquarters in France. Among many other accomplishments, he earned his M.D. from the University of Vermont, taught animal mechanics, physiology and hygiene, and served as Dean at Springfield. In 1891, W. H. Ball served as one of the editors of The Triangle and is credited as having brought basketball to Montreal. He went on to work at the Y.M.C.A. in Montreal, Canada, served from 1916-1917 as a representative of the YMCA on the Joint Committee on Basketball Rules, and wrote an article titled "The Spirit of the Game" for Spalding's 1917-1918 Official Basket Ball Guide. A small piece of the bottom right corner is missing; There is a small water stain on Stagg's right shoulder; The back reads "(9b) Mr. Alonzo Stagg '91, Dr. Seerley '90, and Mr. Ball '91, 1 col cut - Dr. Seerly - man in center - 2 1/4 wide x 2 1/2";</mods:abstract>
