Few baseball photographs in this collection show players in military dress, but this one shows the Tech Cadet Company's baseball team, a reminder that many turn-of-the-century high schools tied athletics to uniformed cadet drill. The team was connected to Washington, D.C., a city whose public schools had a strong tradition of manual training and military-style programs. Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer whose collection holds the print, documented Washington life and institutions around the turn of the twentieth century, and her work offers a record of how school sports and student military training came together in that era.
