Five people in academic gowns stand together in this frame, and the caption names them as J.W. Davis, J.R. Angell, Maude Adams, C.A. Richmond and T.W. Lamont. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, made the glass negative, but its record marks these titles as unverified, so the names are worth checking against other sources. The gowns suggest a college or university occasion, and the "Richmond" in this gallery's board refers to the man named in the caption, not a city. The Bain collection is a broad record of American public life in the early twentieth century.
