This is the application for admissions to the YMCA Training School, now Springfield College, completed by George Weller (Class of 1892). The application seems to be dated October 18, 1889. It includes biographical, religious, past employment, and other related information. The application has a piece of note attached to it (shown on page 2), which probably says "will communicate further". 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.
