replies: text: Thanks for posting this list, Doncram. As you probably now know, Edward J. Berwind was the client for The Elms, and Trumbauer was the architect. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 18:08, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Transferred from Widener Library -- citations need to be got from there as well
:Trumbauer "had no rivals when it came to tempting clients to spend immodest sums", wrote Wayne Andrews;
Biel wrote that he had "made his name and fortune by knowing that 'only a magnificent setting could hope to satisfy an American with a magnificent income,' and he had already imparted such magnificence to the Widener and Elkins mansions and an assortment of other palaces... [He] knew who his client was, so he gave elaborate attention to memorializing Harry in style" in the Memorial Rooms.
Nonetheless Trumbauer was extremely shy, and sensitive about his lack of formal education. "He had literally to be dragged to Cambridge and dressed in his academic gown by Mrs. Widener for the graduation ceremonies in June 1915, when Harvard awarded him his only honorary degree, a master of arts."
