New Statue of Sumner.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A bronze statue of Charles Sumner '30 has been anonymously given to the city of Cambridge and is being placed on the small delta, bounded by Cambridge and Kirkland streets and Massachusetts avenue. The statue is the work of Miss Anne Whitney of Boston who designed the Lief Ericson fountain on Commonwealth avenue.

The figure, which is seated, rests upon a square granite pedestal which is surmounted by a plynth of carved oak leaves. The monument is about 10 feet high, and will probably be unveiled tomorrow morning.
