PORTRAIT OF REED, HARVARD COMMUNIST, HUNG IN ADAMS

A Communistic graduate of Harvard now shares the distinction with George Washington and the famous members of the Adams family, of having his picture hung on the walls of Adams House. Yesterday workmen placed a portrait of John Reed '10 on the wall of the stairway to the Upper Common Room. The portrait was painted by Robert Hallowell '10, a classmate of Reed, and was donated by a committee headed by Corliss Lamont '24. Reed, after leaving college in 1910 became a war correspondent and later went to Russia, where he took part in the revolution. He is the author of a book describing the revolution, entitled "Ten Days That Shook the World." He is buried near the Kremlin in Moscow.
