...portrait of John Reed '10, a leader in the Communist Revolution, was hung in Adams House last evening by a group of his classmates and friends as part of their twenty-fifth reunion ceremonies. The Corporation accepted the painting, which had been executed by Robert Hallowell '10, a close friend of Reed, in a meeting here yesterday...
