Note

A.H, Sanford is standing at the left end of the top row. The Pickwick Club was a student boarding club. Founded in the 1870s, it was the longest-lived of such organizations, and probably due to its longevity, achieved the most social distinction. Most such clubs were organized by a single enterprising student or group of students, and lost impetus and disbanded when the good managers left school or graduated.

Graduation ceremony at the University of Wisconsin, Bascom Hill, about 1917
Note: This may be the May Fete (note the maypoles), annual spring celebration held on Bascom Hill mid-May for many years, rather than graduation exercise. The scene is very similar to Senior Swingout, an honor ceremony formally instituted in 1921, in which the graduating senior women pass the Torch of Knowledge to their counterparts in the junior class. The seniors are traditionally clad in commencement robes; the juniors in white. Since Senior Swingout is usually held in mid-May also, the custom may have originated with May Fete ceremonies.

Note

Coached by Dr. Charles “Mac” McCarthy, legislative reference librarian, arrived in Yokohama on September 16 to play nine ball games primarily with students from Waseda and Keio Universities in Tokyo. The trip was organized by Genkwan Shibata, U.W. ’09, who travelled as business manager and official interpreter.

While in Japan, the ball team was feted on innumerable occasions. Two of the more memorable affairs are described in detail by Oswald Lupinski, ’10, who wrote an account for The Wisconsin Engineer in February 1910. This could a photograph of the “banquet given by Yokohama miteci at the Chi tose ro (the finest tea house in Yokohama)” on the evening of October 6th, or the farewell banquet given by the Keio alumni at the Kojunsha Club in Tokyo held on October 12th. Two-hundred and fifty people were served, including the UW party, the Keio and Waseda teams, Tokyo businessmen and some newspapermen, and innumerable university officials.

Note

The baseball team and Coach Dr. Charles McCarthy, “Mac,” probably with officials of Waseda University, Tokyo (since the photographer, F. Suzuki gives his address as Waseda, Tokyo).

The team played nine games during the month of their stay. One team member, Oswald Lupinksi, ’10, wrote an account for The Wisconsin Engineer, published February 1910.
