The only caption on this glass negative is the phrase "Columbia grad," which the record flags as unverified, so the graduate and the occasion are not confirmed. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates show the quick, practical portraiture editors wanted for captioned stories. Graduation pictures were a common assignment for such agencies, so the plate may show a graduate in academic dress, though the record does not say so.
