Richard H. Park has just completed a plaster cast for a bronze statue of Michael Reese. The figure as it now stands in Mr. Park's studio is eight feet in height.

It has not been decided whether the bronze casting will be made in America or Italy. The statue is made in accordance with the bequest of a nephew of Michael Reese, who died 2 years ago, leaving $20,000. This money is to be equally divided in expenditures on a statue of his uncle and a fountain, both to be placed in the institution of which his ancestor was the founder.
