NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The canvas is the work of John Singer Sargent, whose portrait of Major Henry Lee Higginson is hung in the Union, and whose wall paintings adorn both sides of the main stairway in Widener.

It was announced yesterday that the painting was recently presented to the University by the Board of Overseers and by several former Overseers who have served under President Lowell.
