Item Information

Title:
International YMCA Training School, class of 1891
Description:
This photograph depicts the members of the class of 1891 of the International YMCA Training School, now Springfield College. The group portrait was taken in a professional studio setting. Notice how some of the men are pictured looking straight at the camera and some are looking at the sides. This fact is something that occurred commonly in pictures from the time. Portrayed in the picture are shown: [top row, L to R] E. A. Patrick, George D. MacDonald, George Williams, Charles H. Kingsbury (1892), W. J. Baker, William E. Ninde, Willard S. Richardson, C. S. Taylor, [2nd row] Arthur W. Lunbeck, Henry F. Kallenberg, Alfred T. Halsted (1890), George H. Winslow, Henry Medd, B. H. Hart, Frederick A. Kraft, Harry A. Baldwin, [3rd row] David W. Corbett, Charles H. Baker, Frederick B. Horton, William C. McKee, Frederick A. Gains, James M. Ropes, George Fleming, Walter P. Hamblen, Donald Grant, [4th row] William H. Barton, Herbert W. Fison, Fred C. Fitch, Paul E. Theis, Lewis R. Montgomerie, G. F. Fuller, James H. McCurdy (1890), John P. Smith, George B. Cowles, [bottom row] William J. Keller, William A. Andrew, Albert E. Garland, Benno G. von Zastrow, Irving W. Larimore, F. W. Pei, W. E. Lampherr. In 1895, Dr. James H. McCurdy returned to the school as an instructor. He contributed to the field of physical education in many ways, including his studies on the relationship between heart rate, blood pressure, and motor tasks in adolescent boys. In 1918, James H. McCurdy realized the need “for an extensive programme of sports and recreation in the immediate postwar period that would bridge the gap and ease the transition between military service and civilian life.” The result was the Inter-Allied Games, the biggest international sports event that had ever been held at that time.
