Title
Young Mens Attendance Hall 2nd Floor - Room 37.
Description
This image depicts male students gathered in an attendance room, and it was possibly taken during one of three yearly “Friday Conversations” led by the Principal or other male staff members. The discussions during the young men’s meetings covered a broad range of topics that were “chiefly determined by passing interests” (Normal Register 1893-94, p.36). These conversations were informal, and followed no schedule or structure.
