This document shows Springfield College (then known as School for Christian Workers) alumnus George Weller's grades from high school. It can be seen that Weller went to Yonkers High School and the grades are from the year of 1887. The first page is a note instead of grades report, which talks about that he did not take the exam because he was attacked by a horse, thus did not have the grades for the first term of 1887. The grades probably served as support materials for Weller's application to Springfield College. George R. Weller is a member of Class 1892 of Springfield College (then known as International YMCA Training School). While at the school, he was one of the first men to play the game of basketball, being part of the class that James Naismith developed the game for! After graduation, he was involved in Christian businesses, a fruit growing business, and with the City Engineering Department of Los Angeles, California. Weller died February 11, 1956.
