The image is a black and white photograph of a large group of people sitting in a room. The room appears to be a lecture hall or auditorium, as there are rows of chairs arranged in a semi-circle. The people are of different ages and ethnicities, and they are all looking towards the front of the room with serious expressions on their faces. Some of them are wearing suits and ties, while others are wearing casual clothing. The walls are plain and there is a large window on the right side of the image, letting in natural light. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
