The image documents the dedication ceremony of the bronze statue of John Carroll, the founder of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., who was also the first bishop and archbishop in the United States. The statue, created by Jerome Connor, was unveiled in a grand three-day ceremony in 1912. The photograph captures a moment of celebration as priests, academics, and other dignitaries gather around the statue at Carroll's desk. The men in the image are dressed in formal attire, some wearing hats and mortarboards, reflecting the academic and religious traditions of the time. The women in the photograph are also elegantly dressed, adding to the sense of occasion. This image offers a metaphorical representation of the old boys network or old boys club that was prevalent during the early 20th century. The group of men gathered around the statue of Carroll symbolizes the continuity and legacy of education and leadership passed down from one generation to the next.
