NYT has a snippet indicating that he came to the States from London in April 1913. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A04E1DF103BE633A... and later that month, Osler gave lectures at Yale. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9805E0DB1F3AE633A... By this time the Canadian Osler was a professor of medicine at Oxford, having been on the faculty of Johns Hopkins and McGill earlier in his career.

is it necessary to label the photo "Negro boy" surly "boy" will do or if needed to make reference to his race for historical context surly African American. just like to point out that i am not PC mad just thought this title was a little odd. after all this guy is probably alive wonder what he would think to being called "Negro boy"

I guess it must be the original title, or the agency caption as mentioned above. I don't see anything wrong in keeping that title, it reminds us of the mindset of some people in that time and it could even be an anti-racist statement.

I Like the photo but not the tittle.

yes but the title is part of the times the image was taken in
therefore the title itself has a historical context.

it might not be nice or acceptable context, but to change the title as given by the original photographer, changes history. Essentially whitewashing the past.

The titles are all drawn from the original descriptions of the photos - if you browse around on the Library of Congress's American Memory project you'll see a lot of outdated terms sometimes, but that's the way people talked back then. This is part of why they need help from people tagging pictures - we look for pictures using different words than the photographers or librarians back then would have used.
