This picture documents a group identified as the Columbia class of 1916, a graduating class of Columbia University in New York. The record gives no date and notes that the title comes from unverified information written by the Bain News Service on the negative or its caption card, so the class year is the best clue to when it was made. Bain was a New York photo agency that sold news and feature pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s, and its glass plates, now held by the Library of Congress, capture the look of that period. Because the title is unconfirmed, the people shown and the exact occasion are best read as a working hypothesis.
