Columbia's Presidents
 

ALICE H. BONNELL
 

Among the many works of art at the University are portraits
of the 14 presidents—from the Reverend Samuel Johnson, who
took office as President of King's College in iy;4, to Dr. Grayson
Kirk, who administers the University today. Artists include
John Smibert, John Singleton Copley, Henry Inman, and
Eastman Johnson of the American school, and Sir William
Orpen of Britain.

So far as we know, there has not previously been a compila¬
tion of reproductions of these portraits. We present such a com¬
pilation in the following pages, along with biographical infor¬
mation written by Alice H. Bonnell, Curator of Columbiana.
