    TAFT!!
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Taft attended a reception at City College in New York for Dr Alexis Carrel, who had won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1912. The event took place on on Nov 16, 1912. The event was hosted by the President of the City College of New York Dr. John H. Finley. Perhaps the caption should read Dr. Finley not "D.R. Finley". Finley was the 3rd President of City College of NY, serving as President 1903 to 1913. Article from NYTimes describing the event honoring Dr. Carrel: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B07E5DE1E3AE633A... Article from Wikipedia about City College, mentioning its Presidents: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_College_of_New_York Article about Nobel Prize winner and honoree: Dr. Alexis Carrel (is he in the photo perhaps?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Carrel

    It does look as though it ought to be "Dr." Finley. Thanks for noting it and for the clues as to the likely event. We'll add the subject note!

    I think this is he: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Park_Finley

    John Park Finley (April 11, 1854 - November 24, 1943) was an American meteorologist and Army Signal Service officer who was the first person to study tornadoes intensively. He also wrote the first known book on the subject as well as many other manuals and booklets, collected vast climatological data, setup a nationwide weather observer network, started one of the first private weather enterprises, and opened an early aviation weather school.
