Labeled as the Class of 1918 at Columbia, this glass negative dates from a year when the First World War pulled many young men out of college and into service. It came from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s. The title comes from information the agency wrote on its negatives or caption cards, which has not been independently verified, so the occasion and the people shown remain uncertain. Bain's large holdings are valued by researchers for their view of everyday urban and institutional life in that period.
