Women from Barnard College, the women's college affiliated with Columbia University, march in the academic procession at a Columbia commencement in New York. Barnard was founded in 1889 and granted its own degrees, so its students took part in the university's ceremonies while keeping a separate identity. The picture is a glass negative made by the Bain News Service, a commercial agency that photographed New York news and events in the early twentieth century. The record dates it to May 27, 1908, and notes that the title comes from unverified data, so the exact occasion is best read as a likely spring commencement.
