I'm sure this photo will end up being the basis for a Wes Anderson film one day...

In 1914 the Harvard second eight won the Henley: www.thecrimson.com/article/1968/3/15/history-of-harvard-s... www.thecrimson.com/article/1914/10/23/student-council-off... The older members of the 1914 team went to war soon after the victory. Oarsmen on that team that were still there in 1915 were Henry Stump Middendorf of Baltimore, and Henry Hixon Meyer of Kansas City. Meyer went on to earn a law degree; Middendorf became a banker.

The Harvard Crimson reported on the 1915 regatta www.thecrimson.com/article/1915/9/24/yale-gained-aquatic-... and gave fuller names: "Harvard second eight.--Stroke, F. W. Busk '16; 7, H. T. Meyer '15; 6, H. S. Middendorf '16; 5, W. Richardson '17; 4, J. Talcott, Jr., '16; 3, A. Potter '17; 2, R. R. Brown '17; bow, F. H. L. Whitmarsh '16; cox., A. A. Cameron '17. " As pennylrichardsca noted, it should be Meyer, not Meter.

worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET... identifies Frederick Wadsworth Busk as being Harvard '16. A brief early bio in a Harvard Class of '16 report is at books.google.com/books?id=KscnAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA52&lp... An obituary (in 1970) is at: archives.sps.edu/common/text.asp?Img=1840&Keyword=&am...

Talcott would appear to be James Talcott, Jr. According to the Harvard Graduates Magazine, /books?id=TitYAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA168&lpg=PA168 he married Mary Stoddard Johnson on April 14, 1917 in Boston. A genealogy page is at genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/print.cgi?talcott::155.html
