The life-sized portrait of Dean Briggs, which is being painted by Mr. Edmund C. Tarbell of Boston, will be completed within the next two months. The portrait is a gift from the classes of 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, and 1915 to the University and will be hung in the Living Room of the Union among other portraits of famous Harvard men. It represents Dean Briggs standing in his academic robes.
Although a large sum was raised by the five classes, the portrait is in part a gift from Mr. Tarbell who, in token of esteem for Dean Briggs and from his respect for the University, generously consented to do the work for the sum raised. Mr. Tarbell is one of the foremost portrait painters of the country, belonging to the famous group called "The Ten American Painters." His pictures have been honored at the Paris Exposition of 1900 and at the Chicago World's Fair.
