Item Information

Title:
International YMCA Training School Class Book 1900
Description:
The yearbook for the class of 1900 was published by class of 1900 at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School, now known as Springfield College. It was titled "Class Book 1900". The content of the yearbook includes history of the class of 1900, prophecies of the class of 1900, and individual letters written by members of the class. The Springfield College Yearbooks collection contains yearbooks and class histories created by the students and administration of Springfield College. This year was important because it contains letters from some of the first men to play the game basketball. Basketball was created by Dr. James Naismith in 1891. Before 1904 Springfield College did not have an official Yearbook, but had publications of various levels of expertise. These included printed "Class Books" and “Class Histories” for various years from 1894 to 1903. As far as we know there were no yearbook-like-documents produced before 1894. After 1904 the yearbook has been called the Massasoit, named after Lake Massasoit upon the shores of which the college sits. Most yearbooks contain information on graduating students, activities of the proceeding years, pictures of faculty and staff, athletic team pictures and information, club information, and pictures and text outlining class histories and the graduating seniors, and other information deemed appropriate by the editors. There were no yearbooks produced from 1918-1919 and 1944-1946. Physical Object; Text;
