Abstract: Photograph album, probably compiled by Harvard undergraduate student Franklin Remington, contains 79 photographs of various Harvard students, clubs, and sports teams. The album has handwritten annotations of names and descriptions. The album includes photographs of Hasty Pudding Club cast members in costume; members of the Porcellian Club posing outside of their clubhouse, some of which include George Washington Lewis, the African-American steward of the Club from 1876-1921, and a young child who may be Lewis’ son; individual members of Harvard Crew teams, as well as races in progress; individual track athletes and races in progress; individual members of Harvard boxing teams and football teams; individual members of the Classes of 1887 and 1888, including a composite photograph of all members of the Class of 1887; portraits of multiple women, including one of Trudy Vanderpool, who married Daniel E. Moran, Remington’s business partner; and interior shots of student rooms. Remington appears in several of the photographs, including one with his older brother, Eliphalet Remington, dated 1881-1882, which predates Remington’s enrollment at Harvard.
