The negative is titled "Hitchcock - Harvard," which ties the picture to the Cambridge university, though the record does not say who Hitchcock was or what occasion brought the camera there. The title comes from caption cards written by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events, so the label may be a working note rather than a verified identification. Glass negatives like this one were the standard medium for news photography in the early twentieth century, and their fine detail makes them useful to researchers of Boston and Harvard life.
