Flag Rush at Columbia University is one of the glass negatives from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the large archive of photographs produced by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information written by the agency, which the Library of Congress notes is unverified, so the exact date and the specifics of the scene are not confirmed here. Bain's staff routinely photographed campus life and public events, and the agency's glass plates capture the look of that era's news photography, with its formal compositions and crowded, energetic subjects.
