Description

Photographic portrait of Dr. Remson DuBoise Bird (not Ramsen or Rawson), former president (1921-1946) of Occidental College, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The Doctor is pictured here in bust. He wears a light-colored suit and a dark tie. His hair is meticulously combed and parted to the left. He wears round, wire-frame spectacles over a face that is round itself, almost childlike. Words appear to be embroidered on the breast pocket of his suit's jacket and appear to read "Hartsook".
