Harvard, in Cambridge across the Charles River from Boston, is the place this glass negative is tied to, though the record does not say who Morrison was or what the occasion was. The negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, built from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Its large glass plates captured fine detail, which is part of why such negatives remain useful for studying the period. The title comes from caption cards that have not been verified, so treat the identification as a lead rather than a settled fact.
