This glass negative is titled "Candidates for Columbia crew," which suggests a tryout for the rowing team at Columbia University in New York, one of the oldest college rowing programs in the United States. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service wrote on its own negatives and cards, so the exact occasion is not confirmed. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that supplied pictures of sports, politics and everyday life to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the image likely reflects the photojournalism of that period.
