BUST IMAGINARY
likeness" Unveiled Today,
Modelled From Relatives,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Whether
the bust of Roger Williams, founder
of Rhode Island, which will be un-
yelled in the hall of fame OF New
York University today even family
resembles him may remain forever
unknown.
Williams, internationally famous
for his liberalism in his time. Is al
most the only one of the founders of
the country Of whom no authentic
likeness exists, and it was necessary
to produce q synthetic bust.
Herman A. MacNeill, sculptor. as
signed the task of making Il bust of
Williams, found three of the many
living descendants of the famous
preacher who were supposed to pre-
serve the family features. From
sketches Of these persons he formed
the synthetic likeness of Roger Will
liams. Into the bust also went Mac
Neill's idea of how a man of VIII
liams' character must have looked
The result is strong face, with
deep, brooding eyes, a rugged chin
and firm but kindly mouth.
Eight other busts beside that of
Williams are TO be unveiled today.
Among them is that OF Jonathan Ed
wards. another famous colonial
preacher. noted, however. for his
Puritan orthodoxy, as opposed to the
liberalism Of Williams.
