tennesseeencyclopedia.net/imagegallery.php?EntryID=E016 from the link Sarah Barnwell Elliott, novelist, short story writer, and advocate of women's rights, was born in Savannah, Georgia, the daughter of Stephen Elliott, a bishop of the Episcopal Church who was a leader in the founding of the University of the South at Sewanee. Her education consisted of private tutoring and some study at Johns Hopkins University in 1886. Though she lived for a time in New York (1895-1902), Elliott's principal home was Sewanee, where she died and was buried. She never married. My guess it was an honorary degree.

"The responsibility of raising her nephews drew Elliott back to Sewanee in 1904, where she continued her energetic support for women's rights as a lecturer essayist, and suffrage leader. These efforts served as the catalyst for Tennessee's becoming the critical thirty-sixth state and the only southern state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment (1921), which guaranteed women the vote. In 1913 she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree by the University of the South." -----Southern Local Color: Stories of Region, Race and Gender (2002), p. 232.

Hamar Greenwood, 1st Viscount Greenwood, PC, KC (7 February 1870 – 10 September 1948), known as Sir Hamar Greenwood, Bt, between 1915 and 1929 and as The Lord Greenwood between 1929 and 1937, was a Canadian-born British lawyer and politician. He served as the last Chief Secretary for Ireland between 1920 and 1922.

It looks to me like this portrait was taken at the same time as the one on the right, only he is holding his plumed helmet in this one.

Thanks to all of you for your great research. We'll fill in the caption the next time we update.

This photograph must date between 1900 when he was made a KCB (see star and neck badge) and 1910 when he was made a GCB. In fact it probably can be narrowed further, he was on secondment to the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) which is presumably when he was given the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure 1st Class (sash and breast star).
