*Handwritten caption on reverse of image identifies this graduate as John Iams, however this identification seems to be an error because "John Iams" appears twice in the handwritten captions and yet "John Iams" is not a name on the graduation program (see item # TOOG-AN002-0028). Two male students named in the graduation program are missing from the image caption: Harry Sherwin Iams and Charles Caleb Ely. Charles Caleb Ely was identified based on item # CAND-AN007-0052. Harry Sherwin Iams was identified by process of elimination.
