This photograph portrays H. M. Moore. Mr. Moore was a member of the International Committee of the YMCA in Boston." A printed caption on the verso reads "Y.M.C.A. Jubilee Convention Boston, June 11 - 16, 1901". About the Convention, "The jubilee convention, held at Boston June 11 to 16 to celebrate the fiftieth year of the foundation of the association in America, has attracted more than ordinary attention this year to the organization. The meetings were held in the Museum of Fine arts. Besides messages from Sir George Willaims, the English founder of the Association, and from the German Emperor, the most noteworthy feature was an enormous exhibit illustrating the practical work of the association and its progress during the past fifty years in various branches of education, physical culture, and religious methods."
