    Bain's photo has been inscribed with the date, 9/27/11. A New York Times story, September 28, 1911, reported some of the events: "Columbia University began its . . . academic year yesterday with a large entering class. . . . The real indication that college was open was the hostilities between the freshmen and sophomores. There was little of the old-time fighting, however, the nearest thing to a battle being an organized tug of war on South Field, which provided merriment for hundreds of spectators." The full NYT report: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02EFDE1539E3... -------

    Maybe the skirts keep the polo ball from going under the horses?
