Location is City College of New York

Thanks for the City College of New York location, J Biochemist. Based on the other Bain photos of organists Tattersall and Charles Marie Courboin in the same place for a conference, I think this man may be Miles I'Anson Martin (not Marten). According to the periodical "American Organist" for Jan. 1919, "Miles l'A. Martin" was the secretary of the American Guild of Organists. His gravestone is here: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=482257...

Makes sense based on the American Guild of Organists meeting 12/26-28/15 at City College, per query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9802EFDD1E3BE0...

His entry in the International Who's Who in Music, 1918: "MARTIN Miles l'Anson: Organist, b Newark NJ July 10 1888, s. Miles l'A and Jane (Thompson) M; ed. Newark pub sch, stud music w Jessie Courter, William Ashmall, George E Stubbs, Clement R Gale and others. Organist of St Edward the Martyr, New York. Has composed church anthems, composition for chorus and orch, piano suite, organ pieces, songs for voice and violin. Fellow, New York Guild of Organists Address 328 W 113th St., New York." books.google.com/books?id=Spo3AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA408&l...
