David G. Lyon, Hancock Professor of Hebrew and other Oriental Languages, Emeritus, and Honorary Curator of the Semitic Museum, was honored Saturday by the hanging of his portrait among the founders of the Museum. The painting, an anonymous gift from his former pupils and friends, was done by the well-known Boston artist, Theresa F. Bernstein.
Professor Lyon, who is now retired, was made honorary curator of the Museum in 1922, but he has always maintained a lively interest in its affairs.
