Harvard and Princeton have met on the football field since the 1870s, so this glass negative belongs to a long run of games between two of the country's oldest universities. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service. The agency sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the picture likely shows the crowds and staging that made college football a major spectator event in that era. Its place on the Boston board suggests Harvard's home city, though the record does not confirm the venue.
