Francis Lee Summers is named in this picture's title as connected with the Virginia Military Institute, the state-supported military college in Lexington, Virginia, founded in 1839 and known for its cadet corps. The title comes from notes the National Photo Company wrote on its negatives and has not been independently verified, and the record gives no further detail about the subject. The glass negative dates to about 1921, when the company was photographing people and places across the country, and Herbert A. French gave it to the Library of Congress in 1947. Streaks and blemishes in the coating are the kind of natural deterioration common in glass plates of this age.
