This glass negative carries the title "Paremeter - Harvard football," though the record notes that the wording comes from unverified Bain News Service caption cards and has no date. The Harvard football connection places it in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the university's team drew large crowds. The George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress holds negatives from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its sports and campus subjects are useful for studying how such events were photographed in that era.
