@ pennylrichardsco and others who give context to these photos - thanks very much for putting in the time to research it! It really brings the photos to life!

I started an entry for him in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_Lewis_Brownson

pennylrichardsca: I'll join mcsheeryp in thanking you for the identifying information. In checking Prints & Photographs Division collections that are not online, I found a matching image identifying him in a handwritten caption as "Carleton L. Brownson, Dean, the College of the City of New [York]" (last word cut off--must have been on a larger mount at one time) and with a stamped credit to "Alman & Co, 590 Fifth Ave., N.Y." We'll add information to the description for the Bain negative when we next update the record.
