A simple greeting, "Welcome freshmen," sets this St. Louis view apart from the city's many pictures of landmarks and streets, because its subject is a moment of arrival rather than a building. Signs and banners welcoming first-year students were a familiar sight on American campuses and at school events through the twentieth century, marking the start of each academic year. St. Louis, with its long roster of colleges and universities, was a place where such welcomes were common. The record does not name the exact location, so the picture is best read as a glimpse of that annual ritual of new students coming to the city.
