This booklet comprises a day-by-day and hour-by-hour program for the conference whose theme was "The Quest. We Would See Jesus." The YMCA began sponsoring Older Boys' Conferences around the turn of the 20th century as a means of developing leadership in "Home, School, Church and Community." These conferences became some of the largest youth events of their day. Among the "Suggestions to Delegates" was to "keep notes on pages provided in this program, of the best things heard at the Conference," a piece of advice that Collins Kinney of Hollywood, the owner of this souvenir, apparently took to heart, for the program contains 3 pages of his hand-written, detailed notes!
