  <mods:abstract>This photograph shows several students lining up to start a race on International YMCA Training School's (now Springfield College) Pratt Field. The track shows 8 students in the starting position for a foot race with several people crowded around. The grandstand is located next to the starting line, and there are multiple bikes along the front side of the grandstand. Pratt Field was a gift of Mr. Herbert L. Pratt. It consisted, originally, of a quarter-mile track, 220 yard straightaway twenty-four feet wide, eleven runaways and pits for jumping and vaulting, seven tennis courts, a football field, and a baseball diamond. An eight-foot high reinforced concrete fence surrounds the field. The entrances were designed by Edward Lippincourt Tilton, who also designed Springfield's Judd Gymnasium and the Marsh Memorial Building. Part of Pratt field is still used today for track and field, however the name was changed to Blake Field.</mods:abstract>
