A posed group arranged in a row is what the title "Line-up, Harvard" suggests, most likely a team or a student group at Harvard in Cambridge, across the river from Boston. The record does not confirm the subject, date, or who is pictured, and the title itself comes from unverified notes written by the Bain News Service. The Bain agency sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so the picture was probably made for quick publication. Its glass negative format is typical of that period, when photographers still worked with large plates.
