This glass negative shows Pooch Donovan, identified in the record as a Harvard trainer, one of the people who kept the university's athletes in condition in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The title comes from caption information provided by the Bain News Service and has not been independently verified, and the record gives no date. The Bain agency sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the picture reflects the press interest in college sports and the men who worked behind the teams. Its glass-plate format is typical of that era's newswire work.
