  the finest of the fine this country has to offer, right? wonder whose sons they were.

• Matt Fitzwater-Stevens said:

  Currently, the sport of this "varsity line-up" is unlisted. Judging from the dock and what might be oars at bottom left, this might be Yale's crew team.

• trumpete4u said:

  Yes, this is the dock in front of the Yale boathouse in Gales Ferry, CT.
  It's still there. I grew up there.

Harvard Varsity, 1911 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Deb Ebbeling said:

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Massachusetts Photography, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

• Douglas Coon said:

  1911... the guy on the right is wearing a 1913 sweater.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks for catching this, douglasleecoon. I'm having trouble reading the date on the negative. It's in reverse on the top right side. So what we can do is defer to our Bain default date span, "1910 to 1915" just to cover all possibilities.

• DAVE said:

  The comments on a photo on the shorpy website says that college students in those days would wear the year of their class graduation on their athletic uniforms. That particular picture was of a swim team with 1911, 1912, & 1913 on the chests of men in the same photo. The man in this picture is probably from the class of 1913, but the date of 1911 is likely to be right.
