About This Item
Vassar College's longest-serving president was its fifth (1915-46), an effective academic administrator who was also their first secular president and helped to found Sarah Lawrence College. TNS, 1p, 8½" X 5½", Poughkeepsie, NY, 8 January 1930. Addressed to John T. Owen. Very good. Lightly age toned, with inoffensive staple hole at upper left (not affecting text) and small chip at upper right corner. "I shall be glad to have you use the photograph of me made by Pirie MacDonald in the booklet you are preparing, and you are hereby granted permission to secure this from the photographer." Boldly signed in blue with his usual "H.N. MacCracken." The noted New York portrait photographer (1867-1942) -- known as "Photographer of Men" for he only photographed males -- shot anyone who was anyone in that area for decades, and MacCracken sat for him in 1924. Owen was perhaps a publicity or marketing person working up a Vassar promotional brochure.
