Head and shoulders are modeled out of Carrara marble, a creamy white in color. The square pedestal is of Verde Soria. The top of the bust is slightly more than six fee from the floor.

The committee acting for the donors was composed of George R. Agassis '84. President of the Board of Overseers, Charles A. Coolidge '81, member of the Board, and William C. Endicott '83.
