The title lists nine surnames, which suggests a group of Yale students photographed together in 1915. "Fresh" may refer to first-year students, and "8" may point to an eight-oared rowing crew, a format Yale's teams used. The Bain News Service, the New York photo agency run by George Grantham Bain, made many pictures of college life for newspaper use in the years before World War I. The caption data is noted as unverified, so the occasion and the link between names and faces remain open questions, but the picture still offers a snapshot of undergraduate life in that era.
