> Dear TIPSsters,
>
> I must be running out of posts for the day, but you seem like a crowd
> that likes a challenge. I am trying to identify a person in a photograph
> and I could use your eyes and experience to help me.
>
> Please have a look at the webpage at
> http://www.yorku.ca/christo/images/Angell.htm. At the top of the page
> you will find a copy of a famous photograph of the 1896 U. Chicago
> Philosophy Club, reprinted in David Miller's biography of George Herbert
> Mead. John Dewey (mustache, black bow tie) and George Herbert Mead
> (beard, white tie) are together at the middle of the back row). The
> image below it is Miller's caption, identifying some members of the
> group, but failing to identify a number of others.
>
> Now, look at the man at the far left of the back row, in profile with
> the boater hat. I've included a closeup of him under the caption. Miller
> leaves him unidentified, but I'm wondering whether this might be James
> Rowland Angell. (JRA is best known among psychologists as a co-founder
> of Functionalism and as an APA President, but also, later, president of
> Yale. His father was president of U. Vermont and U. Michigan as well as
> US Minister [as we once to call Ambassadors] to China and Turkey. His
> maternal grandfather was president of Brown U. His brother was a federal
> judge. His cousin, Frank Angell, was also a psychologist, earning his
> PhD with Wundt and founding laboratories at Cornell and Stanford. All in
> all, a rather succssful family!) There are very few photos (that I've
> been able to find) of JR Angell from this time. The main identifying
> features are the glasses and nose.
>
> Now take a look at the few other photos of JR Angell I have included
> next to and below the closeup. In the second-to-last one -- the family
> shot -- I believe (though I am not positive) that JR Angell is the
> second from the left in the back row (the older man at the center of the
> photo is his father, James Burrill Angell). I've included a closeup of
> that person at the bottom of the webpage.
>
> It seems unlikely that Miller would have missed so prominent a character
> as JR Angell, but it is possible. What do you think? Is the man on the
> left JR Angell?
