Hmm, no. He looks like someone desperately trying, and failing, to be one of the lads. The photos were surely taken by someone in the same hall of res for the benefit of later mockery (they really could have had no idea about how funny the medicine school dropout to law student would turn out). As for the rest of what you say, a chequered past is no obstacle to his cause. QED.

and another is set on a boat. I don't think they were taken for the benefit of 'later mockery', they were photographs of the time and moment.
