Charles Prentice Howland, 1878. 9-year-old Charles Howland dressed for school, standing stiffly and perhaps impatiently as he poses for the artist. In his right hand is a tasseled hat and on his shoulder hangs a book bag. The son of Henry Howland, a distinguished Judge, Charles Prentice Howland had a passion for law and he grew up to become a lawyer. Sadly at the height of his career in 1932, he was hit and tragically killed by a car on his way from Yale football game.
