BACON GROUP OF STATUARY WILL BE PLACED IN CHAPEL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A symbolic group of statuary known as "The Sacrifice," executed by Miss Malvina Hoffman, as a memorial to Robert Bacon '07, former ambassador to France, will be moved immediately from the cathedral of St. John the Divine to the Harvard War Memorial Church.

The statue was executed for Mrs. Bacon to serve not only as a memorial to her husband, but for Harvard men who lost their lives in the World War. Bacon was a trustee of Harvard. The statue was originally intended for the Harvard chapel but has been in the cathedral since 1923. The four and a half ton piece of Caen stone will be moved to Harvard Yard by truck.
