Probably not the college
I believe This article refers to the first base ball club in Boston, started by John Lowell in 1858. First called the the Bowdoin Square Base Ball Club, the dropped the Square in 1859. Lowell went on tho found the Lowell, Base Ball club, which was on of 3 major teams in the Boston area and he was the one who awarded the silver ball. It is likely the Bowdoin team played under the Massachusetts rules. The headquarters was near Bowdoin street. See John Thorn mlb blog piece.
I can’t tell anything about the image, but it is interesting and probably the person, but just can’t tell at this point. Also, I can’t tell from just the photo whether it is actually an ambrotype, I assume you have checked. I think it was worth taking a shot at if fairly inexpensive.
