On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 19, College alumni and volunteer leaders enjoyed a reception celebrating the opening of the College's new installation of Presidential portraits. The installation, located in The Study on the third floor of Jenkins Hall, features portraits of 14 of the College's previous leaders, most of which had been neglected and unseen for many years. Thanks to a painstaking restoration process, these portraits have been cleaned, repaired and placed in era-appropriate frames. All but three will remain in The Study permanently.
