The University has received a portrait of the late Mr. Robert Bacon '80, former Secretary of State, Ambassador to France, and Fellow of the Harvard Corporation, as a gift from his classmates. The portrait was painted by the French artist Philip A. Laszlo. It is a replica of that painted by him in Paris in 1910 when Mr. Bacon was serving as American Ambassador, the only portrait of Bacon done from life.
The Bacon portrait is to be hung in the Union, probably in the Living Room. The Union is also to have, for the present, the photographs of the Harvard men killed in the war, which were temporarily exhibited in the Widener Library and have remained there until the present time. The screens bearing these photographs are to stand in the Library of the Union. Ultimately it is hoped that the photographs may find a place in some Harvard war memorial building yet to he built.
