    the finest of the fine this country has to offer, right? wonder whose sons they were.
  • Matt Fitzwater-Stevens said:
    Currently, the sport of this "varsity line-up" is unlisted. Judging from the dock and what might be oars at bottom left, this might be Yale's crew team.
  • trumpete4u said:
    Yes, this is the dock in front of the Yale boathouse in Gales Ferry, CT.
    It's still there. I grew up there.

    It seems he was the managing director of the People's Institute in New Your City. Here is a book he wrote: books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=xZcXAAAAYAAJ&dq=C...
  • Joe said:
    Charles Sprague Smith (1853-1910?) founded the People's Institute of New York City in 1897. The Institute presented public forums on current issues, and the consequent "forum movement" it inspired eventually expanded to more than 100 locations, mostly in the northeastern United States. Later, the Institute was also involved in opening social centers, usually at public schools, and it organized a school for community workers. The People's Institute closed in 1934. Smith had been a professor at Columbia University, and was the author of several books, including a 1908 volume of poetry. For a Progressive activist, his verse was remarkably old fashioned. In addition to the book of poetry and the book linked by cecilacase above, his 1903 volume on four Barbizon school painters is available from Google Books, as is his anthologized essay on the Spanish legend of El Cid.
