    A rather pointless ceremonial chore.

    This photo, or one very similar, is in NYT of August 31, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D07E6DC123FE633A...
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    I agree swanq. The NYT photo looks like the same event which will help us date this photograph. Thank you.

    Viscount Haldane and General Townsley are leaving the old Hayes Gym. However it did not gain the name "Hayes Gym" until named in honor of Captain Thomas Jay Hayes, IV; killed in action 17 April, 1968. Here's a photo of the whole building. Entry door at left. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Hayes_Gym_1910.jpg The Hayes Gym, built in 1910 is still (2009) largely intact and now a part of the larger Arvin facility.

  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks Bob and Wystan. We'll add General Townsley's name to the title the next time we update the record. Bob, that baby face of yours looks familiar from another "Life." Welcome back.

    Richard Haldane, Viscount Haldane, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, visiting the United States in 1913. New York Times, 31 Aug 1913 uses a cropped version of this photo. The caption identifies the gentleman on the right as Sir Kenneth Muir Mackenzie; the LOC text seems to have misread Bain's "K" as an "H". Accompanying story: "WEST POINT, Aug. 30. -- Viscount Haldane, Great Britain's Lord High Chancellor and former British War Secretary, spent a busy three hours at the Military Academy this afternoon. Accompanied by a distinguished party, the Lord High Chancellor sailed up the Hudson on J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair, arriving at West Point at 1:30." Wikipedia: J.P. Morgan, Jr. (corrected per Richard Arthur Norton, thanks; yeah he looked too young and unscarred here to be the father.) Viscount Haldane Kenneth Muir Mackenzie
  • Richard Norton said:
    A correction, it is J.P. Morgan Jr. His father had already died that year on March 31, 1913: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._P._Morgan,_Jr.
  • Tom Bower said:
    The detail present in these vintage photos is always amazing considering the technology of the time, although it was state of the art then. Viewed large, the background structure looks sharper than the three men, probably because of a slow exposure and a little movement by the subjects.

    Yes, and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Now stay off the furniture!
