Foch Gives Harvard Picture

Marshall Foch, who visited the University in 1921, has presented the library with a picture. The Farnsworth Room has been chosen as being the most appropriate place in which the picture could be hung, because the subject is one dealing with the war. Different soldiers, representing different wars in French history are shown seated on a bench with room for just one more. A Pollu, holding an olive branch behind his back, bows to the assemblage, and a caption below reads -- "Vous permettez-les anciens?" Jean Droit is the artist.

Foch has written an inscription on the picture "A L'universitie Harvard" and signed 'Foch.' Charles Coolidge '17 has had the picture framed.
