Little is recorded about this glass negative beyond its subject, Harvard fraternity men performing stunts, and its title comes from caption data the Bain News Service supplied that has not been verified. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the holdings of a New York news photo agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its staff worked quickly for daily publication, so many surviving negatives were made for news use, and this one offers a glimpse of undergraduate life around Harvard at a time when campus clubs and their showy antics drew steady press interest.
