At the unveiling Professor Peabody will receive the bust of William Ellery Channing, preacher and theologian, sculptured by Herbert Adams, donated by the American Unitarian Association and presented by the Reverend S. A. Eliot, president of the association.

Other busts to be unveiled and added to the Hall of Fame, on the campus of New York University, will be those of J. J. Audubon, naturalist; Admiral D. G. Farragut; Benjamin- Franklin; Washington Irving, historian and essayist; and Mary Lyon, pioneer in the education of women and founder of Mount Holyoke College.
