A Painting for shepherd College.

The graduates of Shepherd College
from 1874 to 1882, inclusive, have had
an oil portrait made of Professor JOS
eph McMurran, who was Principal OF

will present it to the executive com
mittee and trustees of the college, to
be held by them as long as the institu-
ton is maintained as such. At the

nesday night, June % next, as an ey-
idence of their high appreciation of
their old preceptor and of their graft
tude to the college for what it has done
for them and the community.
The painting is a full bust portrait,

closes the portrait is very handsome
one, made of bronze and laid with
heavy gold leaf. Attached to the frame,

ton:
"Joseph McMurran, A. NJ Founder

The alumni-e are very much pleased
with the picture. The work was done
by Peter Baumgras, distinguished art
ist of Chicago, and made from a pho
tograph with such particulars as the
committee in charge furnished him.
The portrait will be hung in the library
of the college, as a constant reminder
to future students Of the great work
done for the education of the youth Of
the State by this earnest educator un-
der so many difficulties. 1.-THE college
should at any time be discontinued
the alumni reserve the right to have
the portrait returned to them.
