Bronze Cut of Pres. Eliot in Union

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A bronze cut of President Eliot, nearly 18 inches in diameter, mounted and framed, has recently been placed over the fire-place in the writing room of the Union. It is the work of the famous French medalist Leon Deschamps, and is the original from which were taken the bronze medals which were made in connection with the John Harvard celebration.

The cut is the gift of the Associated Harvard Clubs of St. Louis, and has inscribed on its circumference "Charles William Eliot President of Harvard University." It was received last spring by the trustees of the Union and was placed in the Living Room during Class Day and Commencement. During the summer, it was taken down and has very recently been placed in its present position.
