Jefferson Bust.
Dr. J. Ackerman Coles of New York
City, has notified President Alderman of
his intention to present a bronze bust of
Thomas Jefferson to the University, as a
gift in honor of the great Founder. The
bust is a replica of one on exhibition in
the store of Tiffany & Company, New
York City, and is the work of H. Daniel
Webster, a nephew of the orator. The
original, in the Tiffany establishment,
goes to the Jefferson Medical College of
Philadelphia, and is the only life-size
bust of Jefferson known to Messrs. Tiffany
& Company. This generous action on
the part of Dr. Coles is both appropriate
and beneficent, and his gift forms an
important contribution to the art treasure
of the institution.
