Thanks guys. Steve, I had not thought to research the recipient, other than to assume he was a student at Cornell. Interesting connection you found there to the E123 set!
Jeremy, I guess so. I had casually asked a few postcard expert friends and they had never seen it or one like it, but I didn’t think it would stump the entire Net54 crowd for this long!

It's not certain that's the addressee. With a bit more looking, Cornell lists a Gilbert Lafayette Collins as a second year mechanical engineering student in 1911-12. So it's possible that the linked info is wrong, or there was a second guy with the same name who went to Cornell a few years later. Or the same guy had an "interesting" college career, or was delayed by military service between 1907 and 1911?
Cornell has their directories online, or at least some of them. I didn't find the 1907 one, but I didn't look very hard at all. Sometimes looking up the addressee of an item leads to some pretty interesting things.
