this one's misdescribed and mis-tagged. It's "Ivy day", not "May Day"

Other Bain/LOC photos of Ivy Day (commencement day) at Barnard College, June 7, 1911:
The Library of Congress said:
Hi Wystan: thanks for your comment about the date of this image. After taking a closer look, it appears that the image you refer to in your note is from the same event as the above image and this one www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163523756/ which is dated 6/7/11 in the image. The ivy plant under the columns and the woman in the white headband on the left in the back of the crowd appear in all three images. The above image seems to show the class of 1913 holding a banner, standing across from the graduating class of 1911, who are in caps and gowns.

Barnard was in the news in March 1917 because the college was fund-raising in order to firm up its financial position, hoping to raise a million dollars by June. NYT March 23, 1917 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F06E6DB143AE433A...
