Phi Leases 10 Portraits to Officials

The Daily Tar Heel, March 1, 1958

 

The Philanthropic Literary Society voted in executive session Tuesday to lease 10 portraits from its art gallery to Dean Alexander Heard and Chancellor William Aycock.

 

The portraits will be displayed in the new offices of the University officials. Dean Heard, head of the graduate school, has offices in South Building and Chancellor Aycock is in the Old Institute of Government Building.

 

Phi President Jess Stribling said these pictures are taken from the valuable collection owned by the debating society which physical limitations make impossible to display in the hall.

 

He added, however, that portraits of other famous Phi alumni who have become famous through service to the nation, state and university still hang in the hall.

 

Dean Heard will receive paintings of Robert Bridgers, Joseph Caldwell, James Killebrew, William Saunders, and Patrick Henry Winston.

 

Chancellor Aycock will receive portraits including those of Richard S. Donnell, Francis Hawkes, John Mason, and John Branch.
