But I could be wrong.

Greetings,
A few years ago Legacy Division of Masters of Design issued a sales brochure for Lambda Chi jewelry containing this photograph.
Their photograph is much better than the one that appeared in various issues of the
Paedagogus. Most of the top hats have designs on them. One has the numeral "5," another the letter "C," and the most important one displays the Greek letters
Delta Upsilon!
These hats were very popular among college men throughout the 1890s. So my guess is the photograph was taken in about 1895, at a "C" college, for members of a Delta Upsilon Chapter.
Why this picture was selected for our publications is beyond me. I do think it is pretty cool... but not as cool as our group Fez photograph!
Yours in ZAX,
